Outdoor pests may include moles in your garden area that eat the roots of your plants which kills them off in time or rabbits eating your vegetable patch at night that then leave behind droppings everywhere so you have to clean up after them as well as squirrels running around stealing food from birdfeeders that were put out for birds only.[end]
