People are so ready to kill other creatures that actually BELONG there in the first place. There is something very wrong with the world, but I think we on PT all know that already!!
I have moles in my backyard and since I don't have a lawn (horrible things, lawns!) and my yard is basically xerophilic and, admittedly, quite overgrown, I don't care! We just have to be careful of soft spots when we walk. Several people have said, "You have to kill them because they will destroy your plants and eat everything". WRONG! They eat BUGS! Yay! We need more creatures in Florida that eat the palmettos and wood roaches and earwigs (does anything actually eat them?) etc that overrun the place. The moles also aerate the soil and so are good for gardens. . .unless you have the dreaded LAWN, which their burrows will destroy.
OK- sorry for the tirade. I get crazy. . .![]()
