Before I had my chickens I struggled to control those creatures... they had a party in my yard it was awful, I tried, hunting with flash light and scissors in hands, but that only got a few large ones... I got some with beer bait, they go in and drown in it. I also used something called "last meal". it was very ugly looking like a black syrup. I put newspaper down and made a circle with this last meal...and it was disgusting, but then they were in the newspaper, so I put it all in the garbage. However, I don't want to use these methods, so my chickens are doing a good job managing them. I still have a few here and there, coming in from my neglectful neighbours, but they will not live long here.. Hope you find a solution.. they suck the life of young figs, as they lick the bark and deprive the plant.
