I'm so disappointed - I need to pull out my huge and productive tomato plants.

15. Rats and mice are definitely an issue.

I keep adding traps and trying to win but....
The water bucket is a waste of time.
I use Victor snap traps, Good Nature Traps and Rat-X.
Right now, my Electronic rat traps are catching mice, six in February.
They are a black box, with a rechargeable battery.
They are under the deck to protect from the weather.
I use crushed sunflower seeds because I can clean with a brush.
With Rat-X, I cut holes in the side of butter tubs for the feed.
I have more success if the traps are covered some way.
I put the dead rat/mice out in the lawn and they are gone within an hour.
I could use some help with removing gophers.
