Well I lost tomato seedlings this week. Not to cats. No. Lost them to anti-cats. *squeak*.

Had to move the seedlings from my lighting setup in the garage back inside where they’re getting way leggy. Hubby put out anti-anti-cat devices. Unfortunately I can’t trust the *real* anti-anti-cat devices in my garage or I’d just cut to the chase. And what a chase it would be!

Now we await the little demised squeaks. This, like spiders, is a hubby task. I change dirty diapers, he takes care of the really really icky stuff.

Sad thing is the felines know the temptations are out there. They can hear and probably smell them. They sit at the garage door and paw and howl.

Fortunately I hadn’t planted anything expensive like moruga scorpions or jolokias yet. I’m going to wait for proof of dead squeaks first.

I hate those squeakers. I once purchased some decon, then decided to just make do with traps. Put the decon up on a top shelf at the back of the laudry cabinet.

Really thought I had caught them all with traps. A couple of months later there was one just walking really really slow down the hall, and I put a can over it. Hubby disposed of it.

This repeated several times. I had forgotten all about the D con. Later on, in the spring, I was doing some spring cleaning and came across the Dcon. Little buggers had eaten through the container and consumed all but a few granules.
