[quote=flu]Coyotes and even skunks are not an issue in Carmel Valley bordering canyons in C.C. Highland areas.
You do get some wabbits, squirrels, and geckos though (my last gecko encounter resulted in an fatality when it decided to sleep under my car’s left rear tire. The rest is just, oh, flattened history…)
The wabbit furballs just love to feast on some nice flowers. So I gave up planting stuff that isn’t desert.
Yes, I tried garlic power/pepper powder. But they usually wash off with watering.
I need that bird that is swooping around Oxford’s home…[/quote]I’ll tell you what is an issue in the canyons over there that I _never_ would have guessed. Ticks, man. They’ve got ticks. I’ve hiked all over the county and never picked up a tick. Been in those canyons twice and got ticks both times. Brought back at least three the first time and even though I was careful the second time, still got one.
Seriously though, congratulations on the house, I just mentioned the tick thing because I was so danged surprised. You’ll probably never even see one.
