Well shit, of course I'm in the effected county. Luckily not my town yet but guess I'll have to keep an eye on this.

Stay safe, fellow Massholes

Time to build a citronella, peppermint, cedar, lemongrass, lavender, catnip, and patchouli scented "moat" around your house. Not a real moat, stagnant water does the exact opposite.

Also note, it's the scent of some of these like citronella, not the plant itself they don't like. Just planting them won't do anything.

Funny that you think I can afford a house in Massachusetts right now 😂

Good advice I will try to remember for when I do have one, however

Who knows, maybe you had 14 roommates and lived under the staircase like Harry Potter.
