My wife belongs to a yahoo group that focuses on local networking. Basically a community group where people share advice, ask questions, give reviews of local businesses, that sort of thing. This past week it seems that the general trend of conversation has been how to rid the folk’s homes and yards of things like bears, groundhogs and snakes!
It seems that one lady has snakes living in her attic. She doesn’t say what kind of snake! I hope they are not copperheads! Probably black rat snakes. One thing is for sure, my wife would totally freak out if she found snakes in our attic!
Another lady is worried about black bears on her property. She’s afraid that they are becoming aggressive and might harm her children. I’d worry about that too!
And then the groundhogs. Puts me in mind of the movie “Groundhog Day.”
All of these folks have one thing in common. They want advice on how to get rid of these unwanted critters without harming them in any way. It’s nice to be tenderhearted, but there is a limit!
