I’ve never seen them crawl over a fence.

All the stuff I’m using to protect the plants I’ve gotten for free. I just keep my eyes open as I travel down the street and I find things like rolled up chicken wire, lattice, fencing, all kinds of stuff. I haven’t spent a dime. And it’s all attractive, too.

The thing I would hate about your plan is disposing of the bodies. It sounds so horrible. Ugh.
