How did you keep the rats with furry tails from eating your pears? You mean you made an example of one?

Got my ladder out and tied him by his tail to one of the higher branches I could get to. He dried out in a few weeks, and was flapping in the breeze, and not another bushy tailed rat bothered my pairs.
Kind of macabre, but I was getting frustrated.

It does work. My dad pots a couple of the little suckers with a pellet gun at the beginning of the summer and has no more trouble with tree rats the rest of the year.
Deer blood is a great fertilize and will warn the other deer, "something bad happened here."
