On possum watch - armed and ready

#1 Post by secondchance » Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:07 am

Have added a rake to the arsenal and am on tactical alert. So far, so good. Fighting off paranoia after nearly clubbing the tabby. Oops. :oops:

I hear that possums make good target practice.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Rakes are good. I added the rake to my outdoor Snake Tool Set. The broom has proven best for Toad Traffic Control.

I would think the snakes would be best for toad control..

I've decided that I like the toads, so long as they stay outside. They sit outside the back glass door and eat the bugs that are attracted to the light from the kitchen. As a result, I have had a noticeably smaller number of mosquitos, moths, and june bugs get inside this summer.

The toads get swept only if they try to come inside with the dogs (and the surviving bugs.)
