I hate killing anything - even spiders! But occasionally, it's either them or my plants. I'll take the camera when I check my trapline today - I set it to catch a vole (I think that's what it is) that eats my collard greens at night. It's completely cleaned them out! Something also ate two whole tomato plants - gone, nothing left, just the stub. What on earth would eat tomato plants (don't say a slug - I can't bear the thought of how big that would be to eat two whole plants in a sitting!)
