Troubles with varmints
« on: October 09, 2023, 04:34:19 PM »
I've trapped and did away with a good
many varmints that were messing up my
vegetables and plantings, and pooping
and peeing everywhere, and generally being
a nuisance and molesting and destroying
my property.
There's a good many people these days that
won't do anything proactive to protect themselves
and protect their hard earned property they
gained and built through hard work and vigilance
and instead wring their hands and only react
to when something dear to them is damaged
or destroyed. I've heard and read about people
that refuse to do anything to defend their own
property and possessions from harm, and talked
with a man that wouldn't kill varmints that ate
his eggs and killed his hens. He just blew it off
and reasoned that the varmints were just trying to
eat. I was pointing out that it would be disastrous
if the family was dependent upon having eggs
or the hens to lay them for daily sustenance,
or the garden was ravaged and the vegetables
were ruined, but I couldn't get across.
Varmints will run over you if you allow it.
The only real way is to do away with them so
the threat is eliminated and doesn't multiply
so as to overwhelm you, because it surely will

Many enable and make excuses for varmints

The only varmints I have, are a few neighborhood cats crapin in Lindas flower beds. Occasionally, the cat trap comes out, and the culprit goes to the ranch, never to be seen again. West Texans aren't as bad to keep cats, and let'em roam as are the folks in the Dallas area.
There isn't anything like sitting on the front porch looking at flowers, and the aromatic scent of fresh cat crap hitting the nostrils.

Not all varmints will fit in a trap, but still
 need to be dropped off at the ranch

Besides the pi$$ odor, my biggest problem
is legs full of fleas when checking the mailbox
or going out and down the sidewalk

Every now and then, one makes a trip
"to the ranch "  ;)
