If we could just do something about that blasted ilk! I have heard that the common ilk can be lured into a trap if you bait it with a mixture of honey and cornchips. I should think a deadfall trap (covered-over pit with sharpened stakes in the floor) might serve to put an end to the ilk once and for all. Then the Cognoscienti (or however the hell you spell it) would be on their own and much more vulnerable.
