Ok hive mind ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ™
I need help. My seeding greenhouse is under rodent attackโ€ฆ hundreds of dollars worth of seedlings are being dug up and eaten ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
As a small business and mom of two this feels SO devastating, on so many levels!
I have a 14x30 wood frame, plastic greenhouse.
I start trapping in January well before I start to seed. I always catch mice and rats ๐Ÿ€.
Itโ€™s not obvious where they are getting in..
I have LOTS of traps set, bright lights on, a strobe light and the radio playing. This isnโ€™t enough.
Iโ€™ve resorted to covering each flat with another flat and that helps but every morning first thing and at night I cover and uncover the seedlings. It feels like so much extra workโ€ฆ.as there is lots of babies to try keep safe. Last night they came back!! I lost 50 4 inch pots of peppers (all I had left as they ate my other 70 ๐Ÿ˜ญ) and flats of brassicas!!
I feel so sad and defeated by this experience. Iโ€™m putting one foot in front the other, but I cant run a nursery business like this.
What do other growers do? ๐Ÿ’š
Does anyone have any solutions? ๐Ÿ’š ideas ? ๐Ÿ’š
I mean I guess getting cats ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›?
Thanks SO much!
