I don't know why directions say castor oil should be used in the Fall. Here is the reference. Vole control Getting it on the hosta may be the reason as you spray it. That CO adapter looks like it would work great. You would have to search out the tunnel entrances / exits, block them and hook it up after dusk to make sure the varmints are in there. It wouldn't do any good to simply chase them out of the tunnels, although CO is odorless and tasteless exhaust gas does smell. Jon

We just got rid of a raccoon after 3 weeks pilfering my garden and tearing up neighbor's roof looking for larvae from hornet's nests. Borrowed my brother's trap and it took 3 weeks before it finally went in the trap.....My son relocated it to another area quite a ways away near a river and orchard.....I guess they are all over our town now.....This is something new....didn't used to be raccoons anywhere right in town!! I first noticed that all our water bowls I have out for my bees and cats were tipped over and those that weren't were muddy with partial strawberries/blueberries, onions, garlic and you name it!!! I had a feeling it was a raccoon because we had problems with them when we lived in Oregon. I stayed up late enough one night to take a video of it on our porch!!
