Please, never ever use rat poison. Apart from what a horrendous death it is for the rodent, it is also devastating for our owls and frogmouths #NoPoison #PestControl #AustralianBirds #AustralianWildlife #Conservation #EnvironmentCrisis

Time for a #chipmunk update!

As some of you may remember, I have been live-trapping chipmunks and relocating them to the (not too) nearby park.

Well, I relocated *27* of them… and then realized there is an infinite supply.

When I first started this endeavor I figured maybe there was like 4 or 5 of them.

No matter how many chippies I relocate to the park, there does not seem to be any less of them in the yard. [looks] there’s 2 of them there right now.

I cannot bring myself to kill them.

Wifey tried getting one of those "lifelike" owls that move a bit in the breeze. 😂 Doesn't work at all. I fully expect to see chippie sitting on the owl any day now, mocking me.

Supposedly strong smells can deter them, so like... peppermint oil, or garlic oil, or coffee grounds, or other such things, but *it rains here* so that would be effective for about a week at most.

Perhaps I should just get a yard cat/fox/wolf/komodo. 😼 🦊🐺 🐲

Are you one of those who criticize farmers applying chemicals to crops but kill bugs at home with the same chemicals?

I bought a big potted sunflower a couple of days ago, and immediately worried about squirrels on our balcony consuming bits of it. They’ve eaten everything from horse apples to plants from my fountain up here. So I ordered some rubber snakes on Amazon to place as “squirrel scarecrows.”

“I really do hope they poop themselves in terror when they see these,” I said to @AugieDeer.

The very next day, I found this. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. #gardening #pestcontrol #rubbersnakes #revenge

Has anyone ever heard of a "borrow chickens" program? I need chickens to come eat my garden pests but I don't want to keep or own chickens. I just want to borrow them.

Would also like this for goats. #Gardening #PestControl #Chickens #Goats

Staking zucchinis makes it easier to spot squash vine borer eggs and damage, and also helps combat powdery mildew. I also wrap the stems in tinfoil to further protect against the dastardly squash bugs. Just harvested two nice zucchinis off this first plant, and making some amazing fritters for dinner! #gardening #vegetablegardening #zucchini #squashvineborer #fritters #pestcontrol #gardeningmastodon

Welp, as a NOC shift guy at CRC, you’re here with one other security guard. So when a possum gets into the laundry room, you chase him out, right. Didn’t think 🤔 to get pics of it. But, this is my question, does this fall under other duties as assigned? Asking for a friend. #pestcontrol #critterchaser #possumsevant

PSA: if you need to kill some mice, just get the traditional trap, like in the cartoons. Don’t bother with “modern” traps that look like they’ll be easier to clean or less unsightly.

I went from only one caught over several days (which I had to mercy kill 🫣), to SIX caught in one day, all instantly killed.

The jokes about building a better mousetrap are not lying.

🐿️ #ChipmunkUpdate 🐿️

My replacement Kensizer #trap came today! Fortunately, I had some leftover metal mesh from the garden cage project, and I immediately modified the trap to make it less likely to catch a squirrel. I narrowed the opening to (hopefully) be too small for a squirrel, but just right for a 🐿️

I put it out in the yard near one of their burrows with some sunflower seeds. I caught one within 10 minutes!

Time will tell if this mod prevents señor squirrel from getting caught, but I'm hopeful.

In total, today I caught **5 **chipmunks and 1 mouse 🐭 (oops). #chipmunk #trap #garden #rodents #PestControl
