Thankfully, we were able to relocate most of them, but the cat got the rest. The rodents died from shock, which is better than being torn to pieces.J.H.

We don't really have to deal with rodents in the garden since we have the dogs, but 90+ plus pounds of dog rolling around in your garden doesn't do it much good either.

In fact, our sprinkler system needs some repair due to the ground impaction from the hard drought the last 3 years. Oh we'll get it done, sooner or later -meanwhile I can enjoy your garden and others.
