I've got hubby rolling laughing, as I've just finished reading this to him. But the traps do sound far better than the "do not have children after using this product" stuff sounds.

I've got 2 acres and am surrounded by woods and farmfields, so, like you, I'll never be rid of them....I would just like to keep them out of the immediate perimeter of the house.

OTOH - I've got a couple of bushes that I want to be rid of................nah, I'll just cut them down and dig'em up.


(note to stalker: moles are rodents, like mice, those who live inthe country contend with them)

Well, I read my earlier posts and I guess it did sound kind of hillbilly, watching the yard all day for movement. But, I like to think of it more in the terms of "Caddy Shack". My Dad's yard is immaculate and he is asinine about it. As a matter of fact, I won't even park in his driveway, because he will "guide me" as I back out, fearing I will bend his precious blades grass!

It has been hilarious over the past years to watch him deal with rodents and animals of every variety. The raccoon episodes are usually the funniest simply because they are so much more crafty than other critters.

Now if I ever see my Dad dressed in camouflage, with black paint under his eyes, and holding a detonator while hiding along the side of the house, I'll know it has gone too far. As for me, I'm noticing this genetic trait coming on much more strongly as the years go by. I will have to learn to control the urge to help people back out of my driveway!
