Next time I'm at the hardware store I most likely will. My thumb will thank me. it doesn't feel very good to hit my thumb with the hammer. I need to go to the hardware store soon anyway because I ran out of poison pellets to deal with the voles that have taken up residence somewhere under my yard. If I can find some large stones I'm going to let off the toxic smoke bombs to smoke them out.
Save yourself the trouble. Just buy some grub worm killer... Diazapam, or something like that, I think. I used to have a huge mole problem, and nothing worked to get rid of them, until I got rid of their food source. Now, annual application to kill the grub worms and no more tunnelling critters.
We have a cat but we live on the main road so keep him indoors. We've seen so many cats run over on the main road we don't want ours to join them. Our neighbor across the road had literally just got one cat back from the vet with a broken leg (due to being run over) when their other cat was run over and killed.
Reminds me of the guy who washed down his Xanax with six pints of prune juice. He couldn't leave the toilet for three days but he was OK with that.
I got some poison with bromethalin. The worm killer was a honking great sack of stuff and I didn't feel like hauling it home. If bromethalin doesn't get rid of them I'll try taking out the food source.
I was a bit conflicted over moles in my lawn at our previous house. They are a visual nuisance, but they do eat a lot of pests in the ground as well.
The trouble for me is they dig holes, and quite a few of them. Then they destroy plants. I'm getting a bit tired of both, so the voles gotta go. If it weren't for living on the main road I'd let the cat outside and he'd have a field day with them - I can easily picture him sitting there watching the holes for the first sign of a vole head.
Pretty cool fossils my colleague found during a job in the Rockies. The slab he took was even more impressive.
Ha. I don't mind discussions about policy, but politics??? Yuck. Anytime anyone invokes Jesus into a discussion of politics, I tune them out as irrational and unreliable in thought. If they invoke truth, grace, and Biblical principle into policy, them I'm all ears.
To be fair, the vast majority of people who talk politics ought to be hated. If Kant's categorical imperative taught us anything, it's that.
