We *HATES* them.

Yes, yes we do.
I'm working from home today and have been chasing off a bushy-tailed rat that figured out how to get to the bird feeder that I'm using to pull in some useful bug eating birds (NC has a ton of them).
Then I go out to check on my garden and find two corn and a melon dug up. Not eaten, just dug up. A bunch of my wife's carrots were dug up as well.
I hate them.
HATE HATE HATE HATE them.
With an unending passion I hate them.
