Hmmm, we have them too in Cambridge and also an unfortunate infestation of rats thanks to the unending construction. This past summer, most of my tomatoes were bitten, not eaten but BITTEN!!!!! They also dug up my bulbs that were spending their summer vacation outdoors. I have never experienced a voracious summer like this past one and I've been here for more than 50 years. -----Original Message----- From: pbs [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net] On Behalf Of Marilyn Beaven via pbs Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2020 1:31 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Marilyn Beaven <mmbeaven@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [pbs] Squirrel Deterrence - by popular demand Fabulous. It made my day... especially documenting the tomato thief. I've long wondered just who that was. Certainly here in metro west Boston, Sudbury, we have opossums. Thanks for the info.

I will rationalize that this is a way to identify who is helping themselves to your prized bulbs or vegetables. As back story, it all started when I noticed that something was nibbling off the plumes of my plume-type celosia and using them as what appeared to be partially hidden bedding. Then there were the tomatoes being chomped into at night (I always thought it was squirrels but it turned out to be one or more opossums which I was able to stop by using 24” high chicken wire). That said, here is the link to the video. I have not designated it as “public” but anyone with the link should be able to access it. Be forewarned. There is violence in one clip as a vole is caught in a trap and subsequently retrieved by a raccoon! 😊 https://youtu.be/fsdckUVf9Lw/ <https://youtu.be/fsdckUVf9Lw/> Enjoy.
