    About 10 years ago we had a rash of squirrels at our camp so I started shooting them with the .22. I find they cause far more damage than mice but aren't as dirty. Anyway, I started shooting the things and counting carcasses at the same time. I was up to 55 from November to late January when I quit counting. My neighbor across the lake shot 35 the same season.

    My garage is filled crickets and even a few in the house basement. Never seen so many crickets.

    We seem to have an abundance of crickets also this year. Every year is different, some years it’s earwigs, sometimes the little snails, one year we had a huge outbreak of the brown & white striped spiders,

    Japanese beetles are a plague in my area this year. I’ve also noticed more crickets and earwigs. Mice haven’t been an issue yet, but that may be due to the neighbours cat roaming freely.

    Not noticing mice this year but definitely an increase in snakes. Huge garters and the occasional milk snake. Maybe that explains the lack of mice. LOL.

    Two weeks ago I wiped out a family of 8 all within a 3 day period. Lots of crickets and grasshoppers. Usual amount of squirrels, bunnies and chipmunks.
    Good Luck & Good Hunting !

    Seen lots of mice too, in the shed, barn and in my trucks heater vents!

    I can also relate to others on the earwigs, disgusting buggers are thick. I hate em, im not squeamish at all but I can't stand earwigs! I think they remind me of Toronto, all piled up on top of each other crapping on the one below.....

    How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?
