Hey All...carp, seeing as there has been no moisture for such a long
time could you not consider drowning those little buggers that decimate
your maters and peppers? Just stick the hose down the hole and let 'er
fly! And if there are any young down those holes, hope they can swim!
Reminds me of what I did years ago in Ottawa, when I had a particularly
vicious starling...I waited until she went in to feed her brood, and
nailed a board over the hole in the tree....cruel? Perhaps, but you
should have seen what whe was doing to my children when they were
outside! And the noise she made, when she could not escape, scared off
every starling for miles around....we were not pooped on again, all the
rest of the summer and fall!Cheers, Doug, now in BC where we aint got a starling!
