Mike, I'm moving back to the country, yet expect both squirrel damage and
cricket damage to be down. I've also given up on bird feeders since the
squirrels destroyed two perfectly good feeders. They cut the supporting cord on one
and chewed up the wood on the other. Yet my primary complaint here is excessive
mankind. 71 new apartment units are being built on top of me. Can you
imagine such an audience for all garden activities?
Mice will probably be a problem on my new space since much of the natural
habitat has recently been removed. Maybe my two big guys (cats) can keep them in
check. Give them some much needed exercise!
