Re: Garden pests and control

**G* <g*@gmail.com>**

I'm going with deer and because I live on an island, we have gazillions of these rather large, gorgeous rats with white tails. My orchard is the testing ground for any number of products up to and including slingshots.  (btw, they work for the first year and then you have to step up to a bigger pellet and then they just jump and act pd-off.). :-).  And we are the daffodil capital of the area because tulips seldom get higher than 2-inches before becoming part of the salad diet they prefer. :).

So, I'm looking to find experts who will give me information about what the critter is and how to control or prevent it. We'll choose six or seven of the responses (crediting your name, city and state) for this two-page story, which will also include a rogue's gallery of the intruders. The hope is to have representation from across the country - and Canada.
