Why you wanna have a petting zoo? I'm using rat traps on the chippies. Your "humane" traps just mean you transport the critters to somewhere else that probably already has critters. Those critters will defend their territory and somebody dies. Either from injuries sustained in the fight or starvation. So all you're doing is subbing out your killing to somebody else. A real man kills when he must. In our case the chippies are ruining our concrete front steps and tunneling under the supports for the neighbor's deck, plus there are holes everywhere. They need to go. -Curt

Whatever you do to keep him out will have to be buried, he'll did under it otherwise. I've been trapping chipmunks, up to 5 so far plus one mouse that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The chippies seem to like pecans the best for bait although today I'm experimenting with almonds. -Curt From: Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Andrew Strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 11:32 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] [ SPAM ] Re: [ SPAM ] Re: This is funny Or pacify him: Capture and bring him into the house so he can get to know the family.
