I have been lucky so far. Haven't seen any infestation yet. Keeping my finger crossed.

It is a silly video about garden Gnomes taking over the place.
It shows how they can over winter in the yard close to a rock, climb trees get in the house and be found in the soil.

I have a friend that is Hawaiian that I tease all of the time about how Hawaiians are taking over the US.

Garden Gnomes are evil. In this infected area, they turned one of our cats to stone and its paw fell off. The make Bermuda grass grow in your flower beds - but not in your yard.

I've been reading that they can talk to snails and slugs and often like to drink beer with them.

I have a nice 25-06 that will take care of your Gnomes.
Now I know where all of my beer has been going to.
