OMGosh!

I'm so glad he's okay now! Poor baby. I agree with Onni on the grits. My father in law swears by kerosene, but I don't suggest it. Fire hazard, toxic, very bad for the ground water, kills your grass, and on and on.

There's a middle ground somewhere, I just know it. Maybe you can call your local pest control companies or Home Depot and get recommendations.

Oh, your local agriculture agency should have the latest info and research!

Thanks for the reminder, I REALLY have to go pick up some liquid children's benadryl!
