January 23, 201214 yr Author comment_469521 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. Report

No rodents? Thought there would be a mouse or two hiding out in there... plenty of food for them and all Report

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.
