Yep Gordon, the little beasts like to get worm and have feed, that's why we do have a female in house cat along with the barn/shop cats taking care of their territory has always been the ticket for us. 😉
Yep HD, I have a few (very few) HOA's and every time a new manager is elected, installed, they have a friend, relative etc. rebid the project. It all falls to my son :D since he runs the business now.
I understand, my working dog, I really don't have to keep him away from people most of the time because he does it on his own (he likes to hang out with his animals)
WD, I have not seen a dog actually catch one (squirrel) but I had a 1/2 Rot 1/2 GS and she knew a squirrel was living in our wood storage I didn't see her kill it, but I found it dead on the front entrance to my house.
