Pest Help!
I hope this helps someone!Last year,we got our driveway&
surrounding areas paved.This is a BIG deal,because my driveway
itself is about 150'+ back from the road.I have lived in the same
place for over 20yrs.& my wife has always wanted to get it done.
Last year,a former coworker&old riding buddy bought an established paving business.I knew that he had the same work ethic as me.Either do it right or don't do it.I called him.He measured my drive,parking area,walkway,etc.He graded the whole thing&gave me a multi-thousand price.Something kept
digging holes next to my garage.(Thru the pavement)He sent his
crew over & repaired the holes.I have to be carefull what I use,
because my wife has a cat.I bought a small Hav-a-hart trap at
Home Depot.NOTHING!My wife checked on the computor,
yesterday,And came up with something that sounded stupid to
me.They said to take a 5Gal.pail,fill it 3/4 with water,make a ramp,
leading to the rim.Put sunflower seeds,up the ramp,and on top of
the water.The chipmunks(red squirrels)would fall in & drown.
Sound cruel&stupid?Did it last night.Today,Voila.Plus,it doesn't
affect the cat. Irish
