Ira Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 They HISS! Any bug that hisses at you and then goes crashing off through the brush is bigger than I like the thought of wandering around outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 WOW, I would love to fine some of them :nfs: well velvet worm Just do what I did, I found 4 of them. Step 1: Buy 800 bricks with little holes in them to build fish pond. Step 2: Stack them at edge of driveway. Step 3: Six years later carefully inspect holes for residents while moving the pile somewhere out of the way. Step 4: Go like :nilly: when you discover large amounts of spiders, wetas, roaches, little hoppy things, slugs, snails, more spiders, some more bugs and spiders.

No rodents? Thought there would be a mouse or two hiding out in there... plenty of food for them and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 No rodents? Thought there would be a mouse or two hiding out in there... plenty of food for them and all No actually. I didn't find anything with less than 6 legs. I haven't seen mice or rats outside here often. Once I saw a rat sitting on the bricks here: Only other time was once when I went to take the wheely bin out at night, and what I think must have been a mouse raced around my feet for about 5 seconds before disappearning.
