I love my garden critters too. Except for any rats that sometimes try to nest in my yard. But those rats bring the owls, the bobcats, and the snakes. So I am with you Sally, let Mother Nature do her thing! She'll balance it all out. Mother Nature does it better than any human could! Besides ... the critters were here first in the area before my home was ever built. I am in THEIR home territory when I am outside. Live and let live! Part of the fun of gardening is all the critters in my yard that entertain me!
