About 6 of them are picking the leaves off the red cabbage. No problem with green cabbage. Shooting is out due to proximity to road. I’m not a card carrying member of PETA so anything that works is good.
Thanks

Trap stakes around the perimeter and then string fishing line 3 ft of the ground in a maze like fashion.

We are having a very windy spring here so anything that flaps, bangs or glitters has been moving a lot this year.

Good news! And by the way, someone suggested this a few years ago on TRAPPERMAN and I've been using it ever since with great results.

I'm curious, have they tried to land? And were they entangled in the line?

When i first tried it one got entangled in the line and ripped most of it down. I put it back up and never had another land in it.

Peanut butter sandwich with draino or kill one and hang it in a nearby tree. Rest will stay away.

In line with the fishing line. I have used the flourescent pink masons string over my corn and beans until it gets up about a foot. If I don't they will pull the beans or corn to eat the bean/corn off the bottom of the plant.

Works well and that's where the phrase "scare crow" came from.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

I don't mind the ravens on my lawn as much as the cheerleaders. They tear the place up something awful
