I’ve been eyeing it for awhile. Damn Home Desperate strikes again with the two free batteries deal. lol

I put it through its paces for an hour+ straight of pruning some fruit trees. I was surprised how well it worked.

What size batteries did you get with it and is there any chance this deal is still going on?

Other than the netting, did you guys figure out a way to trap or kill them yet?

The traps have been helping. The netting has been helping. We finally got an electric fence and Cindy is working on getting it setup. Hoping that really does the trick.

Yes, as Eddie said, the traps have been helping. The netting has also been helping up to a point. I tried putting netting over the zucchini and the squirrels just made big holes in it and still ate everything inside. While I was waiting for the electric fence, we decided to try some motion activated sprinklers and they seem to be helping a bit also.

I'm hoping that once I get the electric fence installed things will get better.

What a pain, but I’m glad you have a slight reprieve. Too bad my old dog, Milo, isn’t still alive, I’d loan him to you guys; he was a squirrel killing machine.

I was finally able to set up an electric fence yesterday. I only got a couple 100 ft rolls so it was not enough for the entire garden. If it seems to work, I'll get more rolls. Crossing my fingers!

Did your charger come with a volt meter? If it did you could probably get higher volts by adding a ground rod. I have to do that with a couple of mine to make them hit harder.
