varmit warfare

[Jenn]

between the insects destroying my veggies (and trying to keep things organic), ants crawling in every inch of whats left of my pathetic lawn, the snake living (IN?) or under the siding of the garage, the mole, voles and chipmunks eating every last plant in my flower bed I am going nutso. Guess thats waht I get for having the woods in my back yard but good lord something has to give here. The tunneling critters are destroying eveything and when I say everything I mean everything from the pavement in the driveway to the plants in the garden. WTF.

Aside of an all out chemical assault any good advice? Not a fan of dumping tons of pesticides all over my property.

Husband has a mole & vole "trapline" but they just keep on coming...set up the chipper dipper this morning and already caught 2 in about an hour, ants are being fed all the Terro they can eat and we have already spent a small fortune on organic sprays for the veggie garden.
