Patty in Wisc · 03-12-2010, 09:59 AM

When I moved here, it was a thrill to get one to eat out of my hand in the yard. Then I heard them in kitchen under the attic floorboards! They ate a hole in my soffit & had a nest up there. I got a new roof on & we 'evicted' them (aluminum soffit - they won't eat thru it) & then it was war -esp just before that when they ate my garden.
I trapped 5 in one day once & it was a lot of work...giving each one a 'swim lesson' & resetting trap. I have to shoot from an open window in sunroom & make sure my bad neighbor is not home or he'll call police. I bought some new pointy pellets instead of the flatter ones. Can't wait to try them out.
