That's exactly how they do it, Bermuda! :) I had hoped that they would relocate once they smell the mothballs. I pray that I won't get snakes here. We have neighbors that do not maintain their propertyl and I am concerned. Heck, they don't even live in the house. Periodically, it goes up for sale or rent, then the sign comes down. They move back in for a few months, then the same thing all over again. They have an interested buyer now but are afraid to sell it because they don't want to get taken. The house is for sale by the owner. They don't trust real estate agents either. These are educated people, he is a physician and such paranoia. The people that want to buy the house live next door. They need a larger house. In any case, I wish that they would sell so someone who takes care of their property would live next door to us. The prospective buyers are friends of DD and I request biweekly updates from her. :)
No, no deer so far. I've heard some horror stories about deer. They are almost as bad as goats in that they eat just about anything these days.
