crappieperchhunter Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I though of them also but never seen any. When the plants were cut at the base they disappeared (carried away??) At my first house I had problems with blackbirds. As soon as my squash cucumber or cantaloup plants would sprout they would come and pull them out of the ground. Never ate them..just pulled them out of the ground and left them there. If it was windy they would then get blown out of the garden up against my fence.

Rattletrap2 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 This what your talking about Brian ?? There were several in the garage when I bought this place 5 years ago and I have NEVER seen a mouse in the garage, the house or anywhere else around here. That is it exactly Lew. I think I bought them at TSC or Home Hardware. It was about 8 years ago, but they sure do seem to do the trick. I check the poison boxes and they are definitely still feeding on them, but I guess they don't live ling enough to do any harm. Never find any dead ones n the garage either.

Garnet Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yes likely cut worms. You take 1.5-2" strips of news paper and wrap around bottom of plant so the paper is above soil level and down about 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after my second planting ($30 worth) I read about toilet roll tubes and foam cups! Well no tubes but the wife had a ton of expresso foam cups and that did it! She wasn't happy this year I have the tubes saved up just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_614 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 We had mice in our garage for the past few years all year round. Last year we had a clutch of garter snakes born in the garage. Being a snake collector, I let them be. I would go out and play with the slow ones, but we have had no signs of mice this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 No mice Paul because the snakes probably ate them all. Do Garter snakes eat mice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 My cockapoo, Casey, loves hunting down mice and voles outdoors. Touch wood, there have been no signs in the house either. Smallest opening you can imagine is as good as a welcome mat for most rodents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
