I hate those little bastards! I lost an entire plant because of them. It was already dead before I even realized what was going on. That was about 2 months ago. Luckily I haven't have any problems with them since.

Glad you were able to take care of it, they can really cause problems.

Nice, that seems like it worked pretty good for you. I went to a hardware store before my war and purchased some wire, it didn't quite work for me, I think the diameter was too big.

Yea i almost gave up on the idea too because i couldnt find a sharp, strong wire that was flexible enough to enter the tunnel. but once you find one its so easy!

Will copper wire work or is it to soft?
