We're having a dry summer and that seems to have made them explode. A friendly neighborhood skunk or opossum cleared out 3 for me, but I am battling 2 more without much success. One is along the driveway a long ways from the house, so all options are on the table for that one. I discovered it after my wife had trimmed an elm branch and was getting ready to drag it away. I saw them swarming, but she didn't notice. I told her back back up slowly but steadily and hop back into the truck. The other one is under a Boxwood shrub right next to the garage, I've sprayed it with poison (Bifenthrin) but they won't die. Any tips or advise would be appreciated.</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> Thanks,</p><p class=MsoNormal>> Mike M</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> --</p><p class=MsoNormal>> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> https://www.avast.com/antivirus</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>> AT mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>> AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal>> http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>> AT mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>> AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal>> http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>--</p><p class=MsoNormal>This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.</p><p class=MsoNormal>https://www.avast.com/antivirus</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>AT mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal>http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
