Anybody ever done an emergency repot in winter ?

Good news!

Bad news!
I found some vole activity on my hawthorn!
The snow receded from rain and I found it with quite a lot of damage. No complete girdling but most of the buds were eate off. We've had so much before it snowed that I think the molemax may have washed away.
I immediately started tossing mothballs around and set some traps. So far one V.C. confirmed dead in one trap. She looked pregnant. I haven't gotten another and haven't seen anymore damage but I'm freaking out.

I am going on my 4th application this Winter. When things defrost in between the cold snaps we have I find most all critters get active for a brief period. So far, again this season no problems noticed except for a large bulb pot planting that I had missed but treated since.
I guess my application method is similar to when I used to use Copper Fungicide, pretty much weather dependent...

Good to know that you apply the Molemax more than once.

i had some rodents digging in my trees in the garage last winter, went to the hardware store and got this

its mint scented and they didn't come back after, natural too

Yeah, not ready for new growth until April. This is the first time wintering indoors I have ever had a problem, other than a mouse making a nest in a box of Akadama. Outdoors I have gotten my ass kicked by all kinds of rodents.

A great way to deal with rodents is with poison bait. I highly recommend it.
"JUST ONE BITE" is the brand.

ebay has it, too.

I haven’t had any problems since I started using MoleMax. It’s non toxic as well.
