I think spraying plants with pepper spray (homemade) will keep them away. some companies treat their seed with peppers to discourage the critters.<BR/><BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-32535676751281152622008-07-22T12:28:00.000-05:002008-07-22T12:28:00.000-05:00Now, now, I can't tell you how many times I've loo...Now, now, I can't tell you how many times I've looked lustfully at the pigeons in the city, contemplating a good sweet pigeon pastilla pie- and this despite their rampid tumors!Jed Carosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-76176616509407846572008-07-22T07:39:00.000-05:002008-07-22T07:39:00.000-05:00You're right of course.
