I hope you don’t have kids that walk barefoot in your yard. Cats have nasty worms in their scat.

Nearly seven minutes just to say - cage your garden beds!!!!

Typical of what gets advert clicks on Youtube today - long winded shpeels that keep you waiting and waiting for the speaker to just get to the dam point. Hate that kind of crap.

If he got to the point, then how would he share 7 minutes of "production" splices.

Don’t keep them out, invite them in, then KILL AND EAT THEM.

A decent air rifle is more than up to the task. My neighbors can’t hear the noise and a tin of 500 of the best pellets is only $15. I also use a “live trap” positioned among my fruit and nut trees because I can’t shoot them when they’re hiding among the leaves of a fruiting tree. When there are rats enough caught in the cage I carry it out of sight of prying eyes and dispatch them with the same airgun.

Skin and gut them and freeze the otherwise intact carcass until you have accumulated enough to make an entire meal from.

Get wrapped bubble gum from the dollar store and leave it around for the squirrels, rats, chipmunks to enjoy, at least for awhile.

Indigestable substance. Tasty, but indigestible. Cant pass it. I would prefer swift and fast, but I imagine its not much different from bleeding to death internally.

If you use a product with blood thinner warfarin, you risk killing off your raptors, owls, hawks. This wont.

I was about to read a different thread, but then I got distracted by this one.

Too funny.

That was hysterical

I grease up bird feeder poles with Crisco. It only lasts for a few days when I have to do it again but OH THE JOY in watching them jump onto the pole and sliiiiide down. It’s worth it.
