Rodents Beware Read If You Dare

Moles are so ugly.  I have not seen one face to face so I looked it up
on google images.

I was grossed out when I saw this image of a Mole


Brian is pretty good at trapping them and preventing an onslaught
of this dirt digging rodent in our horse pastures. Ugly right?

If the monitoring of Moles was not done our pasture would be full of
deep holes for the horses and us to trip in;  could be serious leg injury for
animals.

facts about Moles


Since we moved here 5 years ago,  hubby has had to purchase traps
and learn about how to trap them.

onto another rodent.......

We have Voles scurrying under our
deck this spring.

This is our Vole trap

We have also seen Badger holes on our pasture walk recently.

This is what a Badger looks like.

Other than these rodents, besides a few gophers, (we have one striped gopher
that we keep as a pet.)

  He is very harmless and doesn't dig big destructive holes.

If you read to the end of this post , good for you!
