The rodent population in the Northeast is only too healthy. Between my cat and me we have removed over 40 chipmunks, 20 squirrels and about a half dozen voles and I am still loosing some every day. Lost 2 Black from Tula yesterday, an Azoychka today, a Paul Robeson 2 days ago and many cherries over the week. If all those rodents that were removed were here, I wolud not be eating any tomatoes now. Been there, done that when I only got 5 tomatoes for the entire season.
