Beware the wild garlic, my son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
We have been terrorized by an untamed garlic, roaming the kitchen, pouncing on unsuspecting people and cats.
Oooh, it's been brutal!!
BUT!
We win!
Finally tried baiting the trap with fake cheese, fake mouse wants fake cheese?
Seems to have worked, but I suspect there could have been something better I could have baited the trap with, or maybe a better way to have caught it!
If you have had garlic amok in your house, how did you catch it?! I might need to know, there's a LOT of it out in the garden, and most of it looks pretty undisciplined!
According to my companion planting guide, garlic likes tomatoes, beets, and many things in the cabbage family. If you can grow them away from the kitchen door, maybe that will help to keep them from wandering into the house to investigate the fridge?
However, you're not the only one struggling with house invaders. I go out my front door at least every two days to water plants that live on my porch. Gregory Grape Vine does *not* live on my porch nor is he a house-plant! Alas, he greeted me at eye level yesterday!
No, Gregory, you may not come in my house - you've got a nice bamboo post to climb!
At my last home I had a wisteria we called Cthulhu, as in "Cthulhu has grabbed another hollyhock!" (the hollyhocks were across the path from it.) We accused it of eating wildlife and unwary birds.
