Dear Listmembers,
I wonder if others are having more problems with rodent pests this
spring (thanks to El Nino)? I have voles (I think) that are as brazen as
the gopher on "Caddy Shack". I watched the little suckers pull down
Siberian iris and daylily leaves and munch them in broad daylight. I
suspect the subterranian tunnels and piles of dirt are from moles. Moles
I can live with.... the voles are a different story.
I have searched the major garden sites and multiple parallel search
engines and they don't offer much advise that sits well with an organic
gardener, animal lover and bird feeder. I have multiple beds scattered
over an acre lot. I wouldn't know where to begin to put the
castor oil stuff (Mole Med??) and I am not sure it works for voles.
Any suggestions or commiserations??
