RE: DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES

in #life6 years ago

Yes please let us know! I have started to see more of them since planting! I also have a chipmunk problem, so if anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid and or keep them out please let me know!

Sort:  

Get you a 5 gallon bucket and full it about a third of the way with water and then sprinkle a handful of birdseed on top. That will be the end of your chipmunk problem.

Nice...I have heard about this kind of trap before, just have not tried it yet! Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh, that's a fascinating trap idea!

I found a good way to trap mice, by the way: put your freshly made bone broth out on the floor with a piece of plastic wrap over the mason jar instead of a hard lid. Secure with a rubber band.

I had quite a surprise when I brought the broth in from the garage (aka, my large walkin refrigerator during cold weather). And the hole the mouse made in the plastic was no bigger than maybe a dime.

I found a glass gallon jug in my parent's attic one time that was full of mouse corpses, they must have smelled the mouse corpses and hopped in. I made a couple of batches of bone broth before I discovered that you could just buy organic bone broth at the store.

Ew. Yuck!

Yes, you can buy bone broth...but our budget is tight enough that I try to make as much as I can myself and it's a great use for the chicken thigh bones.

I was buying the bones and that got pretty pricey and I couldn't get organic bones. Making it was also messy, stinky and time consuming.

You don't just grab them by hand?

Nope! I guess I don't have the quick reflexes needed like the great animal whisperer such as yourself has!
