My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
The post I made about the squirrel silo probably should have had this title now that one of you gave me a clue and I did further research. I am even more impressed with the ingenuity of an even smaller animal and this one is not nearly a big a fruit pest- except to my blueberries. Well they also eat holes into my peaches and destroy a certain amount of green peaches and pears- but they're much easier to control than squirrels.
A few years ago I had chipmunks eating a hole in every peach and apricot in the trees. Finally I ordered a "Rat Zapper" online. That summer I trapped 54 chipmunks. Stunning, because I never saw more than two at a time. In successive years I have trapped a declining number of chipmunks. This past year my fruit was without chipmunk bites. Love that Rat Zapper. I do live in the city.
Thank you so very much maj742. This is exactly why I like to keep checking back in on this forum. Great looking option right there. I checked em out online after first seeing your reply. I've been wondering what effective approach to take against my own expanding chipster population. They really marauded my grapes this past season. Plus have turned out to be quite the little diggers too. So something has got to give. And I hope it is them next year by putting one of these to great use. Thx again,,,q-3
