Work today to cut up and haul off the cover for the sand volleyball court. Found 5 little mice hiding. Three down and traps set for the others. Hoping there are only two. Saw the tail of the critter under the deck near the house and verified a rat. Trap now set.
Heard moth balls would cause animals to leave under the decks. Bought some, hammered to break into pieces and dropped pieces down between the boards on the deck. Now the entire backyard smells like someone's great grandmother. Not exactly the peaceful setting I envisioned.
Pond remodel started and sewer clean out found in the middle of the pond. One more piece of evidence of how bad the other pond guy was...and deceptive. Now we are delayed waiting for the plumber to come and figure out what we have. Remodeling at its best! Even in the outside.
Don set out traps so either the moth balls will get to the creatures of the traps will work. Not sure what to do about the rabbits. And the moles are escaping Gary's traps. Great. Not only do we have wildlife, we have genius ones who can escape being trapped! Just wonderful.
Wonder what tomorrow holds for us.
