Varmints...Rats with fur, all kinds of names...trouble makers, oh yes, both of them, major. If I have a garden with bulbs, even if I dust them with rodent proofing powder, they are either eaten, or dug up and moved. I have seen my plants that I paid for in my neighbor's yards and they got there by way of, yes, these cheerful little rodents.
They are also arsenic eaters. For many years now, they chew on the edges of our deck, which my husby built with treated lumber. The arsenic does not seem to harm them at all, guess a little bit every now and then, may even do them some kind of good.
