Our problem right now is toads. They tunnel out their damn holes in our back grass leaving behind a pile of mud that looks like a termite hill. Have 2 working right now. I have told the hubby that he cannot pour gas down the holes and light a match. Going to try salt water.

We bought a couple of havahart traps last year and we were trapping them and then releasing them a few miles away in a wooden area. That ended abruptly the night we caught a skunk instead of a chipmunk.
The next day the exterminator came over to put the poison down the holes (they lick it off their fur and bleed out). It got rid of some, but they were back again this year. So, trying again with the poison.

There is more. The squirrel was not moving so my wife DEMANDED that i put it in the (cloth) dog crate and bring it inside. Sometime, during the night the squirrel clawed its way through the cage and now owned the house. The musky smell gave it away. Well, my wife freaked out again, chaos ensued. Bottom line, we used the dog to find and flush the squirrel out through an open door. In winter.

We have chipmunks and a garden. They never ate our tomatoes squash or green beans, but they enjoyed our sunflowers. We had the giant ones to save seeds, but got none between them and the goldfinches.
Maybe plant some sunflowers near the garden to entice them away? Upside is a draw for pollinators.

Oddly enough, he and the rabbits seemed to have some sort of truce. He'd let them stay at the border of the yard as long as they didn't venture in too far. The second they came in past a certain point, BAM! he was after them.
While it does not make me want to get another dog, he certainly did keep the rodents under control.

Anyway, had my trap (with five live sparrows in it, as a lure for more sparrows) hauled away about twenty yards overnight by some creature.
Here's the weird thing. Remaining in the trap was ONE live sparrow and four sparrow skulls.

Currently the real problem for them is a chipmunk colony which is using the anti-deer fence as shelter, and doing strange and destructive things to the hillside drainage system. One of their neighbors just discovered a fox den under a shed though, so maybe a fox or two will stop by and get some chipmunks. (Foxes have no interest in songbirds, so Dad will do nothing about visiting foxes.)

They most certainly do dig. They dig up all my flowerpots on the back deck looking for the acorns they think they hid there in the fall. I've learned that I can't plant seeds or even small seedlings in the pots because they never make it. I have to wait until the plants have a bit of heft so they can survive the blasted squirrels.

If you are not a pyro, you can try plugging the holes with an ammonia soaked sponge.
Ammonia soaked sponge is also a good way to evict critters that have set up shop under a porch or deck.

He could have put any of the feeders on a pole covered with his slippery stuff, and located more than squirrel-jumping distance from fences and the like.

They've done thousands of dollars in damage to my properties over the years. The house I'm in now they've chewed their way into the attic several times, at which point they eat the wiring, tear up the insulation and breed like fruit flies. Unfortunately, my idiot tenants before I came back didn't notice them romping and playing and running around in the house (Dave's not here...) so I had to repair the roof and the ceiling after the roof leaked all last winter.
At my old place squirrels literally ate a hole down the center of a 60 year old palm tree to nest, killing it. That's not even what they do to my vegetable garden.
Oh, I did the animal abatement thing. They're too damn smart to get caught - save the juviniles. In CA, the crappy animals fall under fish and game. So, it's illegal to hurt the po widdwe tings. They have to get captured and released at between $100-150 a pop. So, I spend hundreds trying to trap them, and then still have to get the house repaired.
So, it's me, my lawn chair, a six pack and my trembling Webley. I'll start baiting if I need to. As soon as I let my guard down, they'll be back in, especially this fall.

At my old place when we had a massive vegetable garden, the little bastards would choose the best brandywine tomato at peak ripeness (don't know why, but they always went for the heirlooms first), pull it off, take it on top of the fence, take a bite out of it and leave it there. Soon there'd be a dozen tomatoes lined up on top of the fence, all with one bite. I really, really, really hate squirrels.

One day I ran in and got my dad: our neighbor was standing over a gopher hole with the muzzle of his rifle down in the hole, as he blasted away in frustration.
My dad and I laughed ourselves silly. It was just like the cartoons, except when he extracted the muzzle it wasn't tied in a knot.

Greetings, SBT ... They definitely dig! Every spring we plant annual flowers in clay pots to decorate our front porch. Every fall, when the flowers fade, the squirrels start burying acorns in those pots. Then, throughout every winter, the squirrels visit the porch every couple of days to dig up a snack. Surprisingly, dear hubby tolerates the burying and digging up activities on the porch (because it spares the front lawn). However, he gets royally pissed whenever the squirrels sit on his porch chair, eat their snack, and litter his chair seat with broken nut shells.

We just have wild boar or raccoons these days. A wild boar can look like somebody took a rototiller to your lawn (that's pretty much how it works anyway). The damn raccoons will roll the lawn up looking for grubs. They can destroy an entire backyard in an evening. So, I have to spray for grubs every few months.
Used to have moles when I lived in the hills. Luckily (or not) the soil I've got is all river rock with a little dirt to fill in the crevasses. Never really did find anything that worked except dogs/cats.
My old gardener used to swear that juicy fruit gum was something they couldn't resist. They'd eat it, it would gum up their insides and they die. Never had a chance to really prove it worked.
Check Shawn Woods on Youtube. He's a crossbow hunter, but has a popular series called mousetrap monday. He tests every type of rodent killing/trapping device out there, from modern to antique. He also traps/kills squirrels, gophers and moles. He just did one on moles recently.

No, bushy tailed tree rats. There's ground squirrels here too, but they tend to stay in the open areas. In Santa Clara County CA they're protected. Don't think the same is extended to ground squirrels because of the dangers they pose to cattle and horses. This is a rural(ish) area still, so I'm sure ground squirrels are open season.

I should probably check and see if anybody tried a control group on YT.

Like, city center of small east county San Diego had town center worked over by Antifa/BLM overnight. They got to work on the town after blocking Interstate 8. Windows smashed all ove, multiple buildings burned down, multiple vehicles burned.
The excuse was viral video of a La Mesa PD suspect being uncouth to a black suspect at the trolley station. Over a thousand earnest committed shitheads came out from out of town almost immediately.
This is clearly pre-planned, and no town is too obscure to escape. It's like the Occupy movement, it gets turned on and off like a lightbulb from some central authotitt.

In this video, two white antifa chicks are spray painting "BLM" on a building when they get confronted by a black chick who tells them to stop. (Seems likek the black chick lives in the neighbourhood.)
One of the stupid white chicks says something like allow peoplel to express themselves.
The anitfa reply was inadudible, but I think the antifa chick said something like we're just trying to help you guys because the black chick then says you're all doing that for us but we didn't ask you to do it. She then complains that black people will be blamed for the graffiti.

Exactly what I have been wondering. A lot of people's livelihoods and property have been destroyed, many of whom are black. There are some really heartbreaking videos out there.
One argument that has been popping up on the left is that this is no big deal - the looted and burned down businesses like Target and McDonalds have insurance. (I kid you not.)
Ignoring that insane argument, how about the many poor and working class people that were employed in those businesses? What's going to happen to them when unemployment is already sky high because of the coronavirus response?
But the celebrities will be spending their money bailing out the ones who caused the destruction. SMH.

I'm in MontCo but pretty far from Philly. It will take rioters some effort if they wanted to land here. I suspect a number of people are armed here - there's a gun store within walking distance from me.
I hope our Philly 'rons and 'ettes are safe!

One argument that has been popping up on the left is that this is no big deal - the looted and burned down businesses like Target and McDonalds have insurance. (I kid you not.)
Most business insurance has a non-benefit clause for damage caused by riots.
They should sue the living hell out of the city gov't and mayor personally where they mayors had the police stand down and gave their Democrat allies in antifa and BLM free rein to destroy property and lives.

Hmmm, now to connect a couple of dots.
Incitement to riot Law includes giving rioters material aid, like money to bail them out.
As a designated terrorist organization, anyone giving it aid can have their assets seized, or frozen, WITHOUT a Court even being involved.

How about we all just dispense with the notion that this is about what happened about Floyd or about race? Not arguing that killing wasn't awful bad or that the policeman shouldn't be prosecuted.
To continue to argue about *that* while discussing the subsequent riots and anarchy is to perpetuate THEIR narrative. This is about the Left, after decades of activism, starting a revolution via a race war. This is to get Trump and implement their Socialist agenda.

My area up here is very conducive to large populations of squirrels, chipmunks and other assorted small rodents.
I use a .177 cal pellet rifle with a CO2 cartridge for pest control. Accurate, quiet and lethal. Classic shoot shovel and shut up. It's only employed when the nuisance level is extreme, most times I can tolerate them.
We have no mice (that I've ever seen evidence of) in the house, the resident cat has a lock on that. My Lab is so accustomed to squirrels she seldom acknowledges them unless they wander too near her, then it's a halfhearted chase for a few feet.

Looked like outsiders to me as not from the town, but probably they mostly came from the San Diego area. Mostly little white punks, some blacks. Most whites had the Anifa look about them.
What a desperate silly lie the white supremacist canard is. I recall one of the features of communist tyranny is forcing the public to endorse obvious lies-- it shows who is in charge. That some people in this country apparently believe this white supremacist BS is different from communist societies, where apparently nobody believed the falsehoods.

Semi-Literate: the protest was originally organized by a group active on police choke-hold technique going back several years. There actually was a protest, that was - no joke - "mostly" peaceful .... the blocking of the I-8 should have brought a fierce response and arrests, but of course it didn't. Everything changed around 8PM, including, reportedly, the make-up of the crowd - most of the marchers took off.
The idiots stayed.
My point, which I'll give up because it's clearly hopeless, is that so many here are clinging to their "agitator" excuses and not putting them in context. There are agitators, in some cases they are a significant factor - but pretending that's the real problem is as delusional as the statements coming from officials in Seattle and Mpls.

This was obviously because they were covering up their badge number. No other reason,apparently. Three times, the Mayor pointed out the officer's names are on their uniform. I wonder if it registered. Probably not.
There were only perhaps 15 questions asked, and now
the press conference is over because the Mayor is busy or something.

Your point is that the cops brought this on by their actual behavior, treating the public like dirt? I don't disagree.
It's also true that municipal and state leadership played their part. Police policies that alienate the public are often directed or at least tolerated by ciy councils, mayors and governors.
Baltimore is an example. One generation of political leadership (O'Malley) uses the police for cynical alienating policies to improve their crime numbers. The next generation exploits the public resentment and demonizes the police. When the lid blows such as now, the political will to crack down isn't there -- contradicts the SJW basis for getting into power.

You can condemn the behavior in the 92 L.A. riots and still understand that there were legit grievances that led to it.
What's happening now in L.A. and other cities is not that. In fact, these paid Antifa scumbags are drawing attention and sympathy away from a legit grievances in the death of Floyd.

NO! The gray squirrel was brought here from Europe by an idiot. They drove out the native red squirrel, which wasn't as aggressive and probably wouldn't chop down my tomato plants and expose the roots of my perennials out of spite.

Look at Los Angeles in '65. Blacks were right to be angrier than a nest of hornets. Los Angeles was probably the most racist city in America, they were enforcing segregation even after it was dead in the South, and doing so with a considerable amount of government sanctioned police violence.
That doesn't mean burning Watts down made anything better.

You need to reach a critical level of chaos before you attack a Red City.

According to the coroner, a lot of the reason Floyd died was poor health, and drugs in his system.
Did he need to die? of course not.
Was he taken out and executed? uh, not really.
Looks like the take down added to poor health killed him.
And it sure ain't a good enough reason for all the looting and destruction now going on.

As someone said they are looting in the suburbs, hitting Orland Park mall. My wife grew up near there, used to shop there.
They riot there and they are going to get Trump reelected. These folks moved to the suburbs to get away from this crap, they aren't going to take this kindly.

I didn't hear about Orland. Jabba calls out 375 National Guard. With a limited mission. Totally useless.
Posted by: TheQuietMan at May 31, 2020 04:39 PM
Just IM'd with my brother (south side Chicago police officer). This was his response:
Its rioting and chaos here in the Southside. They've destroyed pretty much every store. But I'm safe at the moment. Working 12hr shifts cancelled days off
We grew up on the south side near Midway Airport. But he had friends who moved out of the city to Tinley Park and Orland Park. We often visited our uncle and cousin who lived in Tinley Park. And went to the Orland Park mall quite a bit.
I really don't understand the point of any protests now. What is their purpose?
The cops were fired and arrested and charged. Now it is a waiting game for evidence to be gathered and then an eventual trial.
But there's no more purpose for a protest, since all the possible steps have been taken to start the process with the justice system.
Everything that has happened after the arrest and charges is now not about George Floyd, but simply about causing chaos.

But now the Left has started it. And they started it way too soon, way too obviously, and they did it by attacking all of their *own* cities. They've done it all wrong. It looks frightening, but they've blown it.

It's worse than that - this is the insurrection that the Left has fantasized about starting since the day Trump was elected. And they tried everything, including impeachment, and now they're left with nothing but primal rage and thuggishness. And they're destroying their own cities and horrifying all of their own supporters.
Me, I'm kinda horrified, but at the same time very gratified that now everyone sees the rad left exactly as I have always seen them.

I'm listening to the Chicago police scanner. It's going to be another bad night and Leftfoot and Jabba aren't going to do shit to stop it. First they crashed the economy with the Flu Manchu lock downs and now they sitting back watching the city and state burn. I've got a cousin whose husband is an Orland cop. I hope they shut that shit down fast.

Yep, according to this analysis of the charging documents, Floyd was complaining of difficulty breathing even before he was put on the ground.
In addition, he was resisting arrest, throwing himself on the ground to resist, resisting being put in the patrol car, etc.
This also talks about the officer thinking that Floyd may be suffering from excited delirium. They note that the officers almost had him in the patrol car, but then pulled him out and then put him on the ground. And I think it is then that the video captures the rest of the arrest. Will be interesting to find out the reason why the officers decided to stop trying to put him in the car and instead put him on the ground.
https://bit.ly/2MdTmos
According to the charging documents, while the officers were holding Floyd down, now-former Officer Lane asked Chauvin, "should we roll him on his side?"
Chauvin responded, "No, staying put where we got him."
Lane stated, "I am worried about excited delirium or whatever."
Chauvin responded, "That's why we have him on his stomach."
Excited delirium is a life-threatening medical episode where people can react violently. People experiencing excited delirium need to be restrained so that they can get medical attention as soon as possible - not restrained for the sake of being restrained.
Chauvin demonstrated a total lack of reason by continuing to restrain an unresponsive person, but his statements suggest he thought he was reacting appropriately to excited delirium.
He was wrong, but he didn't appear to know he was wrong.

I'm horrified as well. And how convenient that not only can the Left terrorize to their hearts desire, because the majority of people are at home on Governor executive orders and are not being inconvenienced much (i.e. blocked from travelling to or from work or vacations, etc.), but they also get to wear masks to cover their identities.
I hope you are right that people are seeing the Left is doing this. That is probably why the media and Left narrative is to say that this is not local Black communities or antifa, but rather "white supremacists/nationalists" (i.e. "these are Trump supporters!) who are instigating riots.
I hope no one is falling for that nonsense. President Trump was right to get out front and put the focus on antifa and use this to declare them a domestic terrorist organization.

Interesting grouping.
Next to the dorm a man-mountain who was a freshman starting center from the sticks has a squirrel all stretched out on a board and is skinning him.
These are the semi-tame squirrels that inhabit the college greens of numerous liberal arts schools in the mid-west.
In a bit of chock I ask,"man, what are you doing?", he says , "I'm skinnin' a squirrel, I can't believe they come right up to you here!!!"

My brother sent me the link to the livestream of the Chicago police scanner last night. Hearing just 20 minutes of that chaos made everything real for me real quick. I can't imagine my brother or your cousin's husband having to deal with that stuff. Scary shit.
The irony is that for the past two months of the COVID-19 shutdown crap, my brother told me it was the easiest time he has had working the job. Because they were not enforcing anything on the south side regarding "social distancing" or masks or anything.
Those days must seem like a far off memory now with shit hitting the fan this past week.
What a clusterf...
Gonna keep your cousin's husband in my thoughts and prayers along with my brother. Everyone in Chicago and surrounding area is going to need it tonight and for the foreseeable future.

Note that Detroit, a city that loves a good riot, was not a major participant in the national riot night out.
The gangs that control vast areas of the city did not permit Antifa's intrusion into their territory.

The news is also ignoring how Detroit handled the situation. Rather than holding up the police chief and mayor in Detroit as a good example, they want to hold up the cities being burned. I've decided they are not looking for solutions.its sickening. Other cities should be looking at Detroit. But they aren't.

He had this a***h*** squirrel that liked to dig up his bulbs. The little SOB would dig up one, take a bite, drop it, dig up another, take a bite, drop it, and so on, until the bed was ruined.
Well, day, he was sitting on the porch when the squirrel started its routine - dig, bite, drop; dig, bite, drop - except that after each bite, the little rat would look at my friend, as if to say, "You gonna do something about it? Huh?"
This went on for a couple of bulbs. Then, while the tree rat is doing his stare routine ... BAM! a red-tail swoops down, seizes it, and administers the coup de grace to the back of its head, then flies off with the corpse to enjoy its meal.
Lesson: Karma is a BITCH!
