Hate them.

Seriously. Hate them.

I try growing vegetables, and these stupid ugly bastards decide to invade the garden.

I try distracting them with a decoy lettuce, but they don’t fall for it. They want my lettuce.
I built a moat around the lettuce, they got over.
I tried the beer trick, they just invited their friends over, got drunk and ate twice as much.

I think I have met my match.
