Subject: RE: BS: Advice on Rodent control
Yes I am in a cold climate zone Gnu. Sorry about the Architect error...Engineers it is then...(smile) I only took the damn apart once they had gone last time... Yeah I know what your saying...shooting them is ..no....and starving them out is..totally repugnant. What a mess. Tried Bright light down there last night. Rigged Spotlights around the pond (looked like a film location..haha) and there seems to be no damage around this morning. Fall is going be interesting if this carries on! I lowered the water level in the pond again yesterday and went on a hike to check around the neighbor's acres. Boy do they have Beaver Colonies or what!!!! Wired Meshed some (couldn't afford to do all of them!!!) Trees and spread some Coyote Urine around the Pond.. Have thought about putting Alkyd paint with some sand in it on the Tree bases which I have heard deters chewing....might look funny but then again it might help...Ill do anything that avoids lethal means. Rather have odd looking Trees for a while and no Beavers than have no Trees and Beavers..if you get my drift!! Thank you All for helping me out. Even just talking about it makes me feel slightly less anxious. Great link Gnu thank you.
