Mice eating my peppers!!
Comments (6)Thanks! My dogs have never experienced mothballs, will this have a negative impact on them? Also, my peppers are outside at ground level. Will the rain and the sun diminish the effects quickly? Any help would be appreciated...we're anxious to perfect next years harvest.

Comments (2)You did the right thing! Orange -- even yellow -- fruit will ripen fine inside (and no danger they'll split after a heavy rain). The taste will not be affected....See MoreTiny green bug eating my mango houseplant leaves?
Comments (0)Tiny green bug eating my mango houseplant leaves? I saw some of my young mango houseplants leaves' with some sharp markings like they have been eaten. sometimes i see under a leaf a tiny green bug that somehow looks like a tiny skinny grasshopper and is fast moving. I do not think it is an aphid as it usually one per plant and is skinny. A mango looks strong with big lush leaves for 6 weeks but a couple of leaves are damaged and some of the new leaf look to abort. wonder if that green bug is the cause. and what i can do...

Comments (6)I had forgotten that I trapped one of these critters last year and was able to snap a few pictures of him before I released him into some woods miles away from my house. After going back and looking at those pictures, I can say with some confidence that it's a mouse, not a vole. I can tell by the pointed snout and the long, body-length tail. Since I'm pretty sure it's mice and not voles doing all this damage to my garden, does anyone have any suggestions for the most effective way to exterminate what seems to be a fairly big infestation? I really don't want to use poison, but I'm open to any and all other suggestions. As I mentioned before, snap traps don't seem to be working because ants just eat or carry away all the bait (I think) before the mice can get to it....See Moregranbjd22
