My problem is squirrels(tree rats). They gnawed into my attic and chewed up wiring. Since I live in town during the week, I used some 22 calibris with no powder. Hence, very little sound. That worked but I wasn't always around when they were. So, I started using live traps. That worked great. I shot the first one that got in a trap. However, it took 3 shots for it to die. That sickened me. I don't like to see things suffer.

So, I started relocating them a couple of miles away. I rarely see a squirrel this year.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
