Must've been a big trap and a noisy ride. How did you get 60 squirrels in there all at once? :-) Bonaventure Magrys, serious gardener >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Message: 10 Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 21:14:56 -0500 From: Arnold Trachtenberg <arnold@nj.rr.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] Crocus predators To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Message-ID: <439F8020.9020500@nj.rr.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed We seem to return to is thread at least once a year when the rodents wreck havoc upon our crocus. Since I live in an area without predators other than a stray cat on occasion, other measures are required which involve either trapping and relocating the rodents or removing them in other ways. I can tell you that it can become a full time occupation. I removed 60 squirrels one year just by setting a Have-a-hart trap and taking the squirrels on a ten mile ride. It is either them or your bulbs as I see it. Arnold
