Had to coat it liberally with a mixture of very fibrous wheel bearing grease (Valvoline) and a deadly serious hot sauce (Ghost Pepper sauce sold by the SC Trading Co., www.info<http://www.info>@sctrading.com). That's working so far. Still, my next-door neighbor, a police officer; has been promised a bounty of liquid holiday cheer if he wastes the S.O.B., that also ate all his tomato plants in September.
