I am trying it, and so far they have stopped eating me plants. Of course, I have to remember to squirt them again after a rain.

They hurt !<br />We had them on the farm, get any empty plastic bottle that squirts well when squeezed, practice with water, not on the nest .😂Fill it up with diesel fuel, roll up a sheet of newspaper from the corner so the torch is long.<br />Wait till they are all back at the nest, quickly squirt the fuel on and have someone ready with the torch burning,set it alight and run ! ! Knock the nest down later and take it away so any strays don't start again or hang around.<br />MargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-1086350545781118742020-07-26T16:50:26.480-07:002020-07-26T16:50:26.480-07:00The green plants are soothing.
