When I say pests, I don't just mean rats and roaches and such, I'm including rabbits, ducks, crows, small children, ect.  I had the idea for this because I've got rabbits destroying my Mom's flowers, crows in our grill, ducks in our pool, and I just don't like small children, even if they're only a year younger than me sometimes they have the brain of an ant.  Who else has pest problems or solutions?

You're what? 16 ... that means you are 28 years younger than I am. Think about it. :bouncegiggle:

I'm kidding ...

I have Rottweilers therefore I have no ducks, rabbits, crows, small children, neighbors, salesmen, Jehovah Witnesses, vistors for long.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Yeah, dogs and cats seem to work or, as Killer Bees pointed out, a weapon.  Although you may want to keep it simple like say a BB gun and obey the law.   :wink:  I hate pests particularly rabbits and deer.  As for small children, you're on your own there.  I find yelling works temporarily.

We've got a lot of cats in the neighborhood, so they tend to keep most of the pest population down.  Injured birds don't tend to last long either.  My nemesis are moles.  We've got an apple tree in the back yard, grass won't grow under it.  Every spring I plant grass seed, water it faithfully every freakin' day.  Just when it starts growing and looking nice, the moles arrive.  Back and forth, around in circles, you name it.  Caught two of them so far.  I'm an animal lover, but I draw the line at destroying my yard. 

After I catch them I put them in a ziploc bag, because it's usually several days before the garbage man comes and they do tend to stink to high hell after about two days.  Last time I put the mole in a plastic 5 gallon bucket and left it out for the garbage man.  Didn't really want him to take my bucket, but didn't want to toss the ziploc full of soupy mole in the regular garbage can.  So he picks up my little bucket with the giant metal tongs on his truck.  They move in a very jerky manner, bag o' mole goes flying out, lands in the street at the end of my driveway.  He does take my bucket though.  The people across the street weren't home, so I went and put him in their garbage can  :teddyr:

That's just a random internet photo, mine have their tails docked and they're a little older now. I have three of them, Groucho, Harpo and Chico. The smallest one, the baby, the runt, the little puppy is about 120 pounds. The others are a little larger.

You and I both know that Rottweilers only look menacing and in fact are p***ycats if treated properly.   :wink:

That usually applies to Dobermans and German Shepherds, as well. They are terrifying -looking, but are basically big, goofy dogs unless trained to be otherwise. They all do seem to display a natural 'protection' instinct, particularly Shepherds, so it's good for them to consider you their friend.

Chows, on the otherhand, are just naturally mean as spit.  :teddyr:

Well they are named after the Marx brothers so you know they are killers, vicious killers, foaming at the mouth killers, mad dog killers.

Good point, Patient 7.  But I'm kinda impatient.  I want maximum amount of carnage for minimum amount of effort.

Now, where did I put my crossbow.........

I could hang with yer MARX BROS anytime... Rottweilers are probably my favorite... I have two dogs (a Beagle and a Jack Russell) and am a "dog lover", if not a "dog person" (don't consider myself a "dog person.")

My kids and wife has a MinPin and the Rotts are mine, they are HUGE lap dogs, I can't set down or I'll end up with nearly 400 pound of dogs in lap. And while I'm not a small guy that's a bit much. They don't get to come in much, but when they do it's like a herd of buffalo running through the house.
