Lauren Finch of Crex Meadows gave a very information presentation on Pests in the Garden at our October meeting on Thursday the 10th. She spoke about the importance of identifying what animal pests we are dealing with before determining the best course of action. Moles, voles, gophers, rabbits and deer can do a lot of damage in a garden. Each of these has specific behavior and food preferences. Most can be trapped and exported or otherwise "dispatched." We learned that Crex Meadows has live traps to "rent" out for the low low price of a reimbursable deposit! They can also advise on all kinds of animal pest problems.
