Our arch enemies are the neighbor's chihauhaus. Those nasty overgrown rats with collars run half a mile to my house just to pee all over any potted plant I have sitting on my porch. When we were experiencing the wild temperature swings a few weeks ago, I was bringing pots in every night and hauling them back out again in the day. It took me a few days to figure out what the bad smell was, but then I caught the critters in the act. They are aggressive little turds! They try to corner me in my own garage, and pee on the furniture in there!
Besides the bb gun, what can I do to scare them off permanently? It does no good to talk to the neighbor, and I won't call animal control. I have 2 large female labs who are intimidated by these monsters. My dogs won't believe me when I say they taste like chicken.....
