we got so many mice and voles our garden looks like a war zone

[tyroneweaver]

pulled up a garbage lid and about a dozen mice were just sitting there. And the dang cats just look at em.

Will peas grow back?

/----/ Those voles are especially pesky.

My lawn used to be infested with moles
I tried every means to kill them……poison, traps, smoke

Finally, I put a grub killer on my lawn and when their food went away, so did the moles

The rats in my barn wear trench coats and fedoras .........~S~

My cats ignore them but fortunately my neighbors' cats are very munch hunter/killers when it comes to voles.

Stop feeding the cats. Problem solved.

I suggest a mixture of half corn meal and half plaster of Paris, dry of course. Put it out like poison. It will kill the rodents and not harm the birds that might eat the dead rats.

You need to fire your cats and hire a Jack Russell terrier.

• Rat terriers were used for both vermin control and for rat pit contests, where men bet on how many rats in a pit a dog could kill in a certain time period. A rat terrier holds the rat killing record of 2501 rats in a seven hour period in an infested barn.

But the Jack Russell, so keen.

Post a picture of an DNC memeber..........and the little buggers will run screaming as far as they can.

If you replant them.

I had a Britney spaniel who killed those critters in my garden.

I don't know how you would do it but a black snake might do the job. Sometimes you can find them sunning themselves on a dirt road. We have one about 6 feet long that stays on the property. They are good climbers and might eat birds but I haven't seen a mouse in the garden in years. They will eat chicken eggs though. I went out for eggs one time and found the snake curled up on the nest looking for all the world like a cobra with an egg half way down it's throat. It was a shock but I don't mind sharing chicken eggs with the critters.

I had a problem a couple years ago with moles, voles and gophers. Fought them all summer with deterrents, gases, smoke, and electronics. The only thing that was effective was a good old fashioned black box trap. I got rid of at least six of them and I've been pest free since---fingers crossed.

When I had a ranch, we had feral cats in our barn, don't know where they came from, never fed them but, we had very little varmint damage to our horse feed.

I would imagine Maxine Waters sitting buck naked on your yard would scare the shit out of anything.

You are probably correct, but I'd rather battle with the voles, moles and gophers than have her withing 1000 miles of my place. LOL

Reminds me of a story of a lady I know who put golf balls in her chicken coop hoping to stop black snakes from getting the eggs but then ended up taking the black snake to the vet to get the golf balls out of the snake,

I used rat traps baited with corn to get rid of gophers. I buried the traps in loose dirt with just the corn showing. Worked great. I also kept a .22 near in case I saw one. That worked great as well.
