You can check out any time you like…

But you can never leave…”

 

I’ve had it…can’t take it any more!

All the hard work…all the money…and THIS happens…

OK…I just finished a long…extensive…and EXPENSIVE landscape re-do at the Hot Springs Village house. I had TONS and TONS of stonework done. YARDS and YARDS of backfill were brought in to level the property. Once all of the hardscape was finished, all of the plants….mulch…and bark ground cover were meticulously put in place. It was perfect…

After heavy research…I tried to “scare” them off by sprinkling various products around the yard. “Shake Away” (coyote urine granules) and “Liquid Fence” hasn’t even slowed them down. I’m getting desperate…

trap (1)

Here’s the NEW plan. I’m going to try and trap them…and take them away…FAR away. I might even hurt them first! Just kidding…

I hope to post some images of the capture…SOON!
