[LincolnTalk] Coyotes Last Night

[C Eliot]

We heard a pack of coyote’s last night in Tanner’s brook off of Bedford road. 
It sounded like at least four of them and they sounded close!

They can be useful, because they eat mice, but they also eat pets. Don’t let 
cats or dogs out!

I need a wildlife camera!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Mice

[Jennifer Saffran]

You ask a good question because red squirrels are considered “wildlife”, and 
mice are considered “pests”. We have had red squirrels decide they like to sit 
on my LR chair (not in Lincoln). They had chewed through a metal mesh screen 
where a utility meter conduit entered the house.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Mice

[Kathleen Lomatoski]

Hello,I have also worked with Justin Hedlund and support his work. He will not use poisons if that approach is preferred. Even if your house is not next to two large “mouse central” fields, he suggests yearly re-checks can be helpful to keep the mice outside. I appreciate how nimble mice are and they matter in the ecosystem. I am much happier when they stay outside as opposed to nesting in the basement or attic.These are my favorite traps and are reusable. I do not like or feel good about trapping mice yet sometimes one has to. Tomcat Press 'N Set Mouse Trap for Indoor or Outdoor Use, Plastic Spring-Loaded Mouse Killer with Grab Tab, 2 Trapsamazon.comKathleen Lomatoski klomato...@gmail.comOn Jan 31, 2025, at 6:44 AM, Karen Seo  wrote:

[LincolnTalk] February Happenings at the Lincoln Public Library!

Enslaved in the American Revolution
Enslaved men played a pivotal role in the American Revolution, often
journeying hundreds of miles to assist in the fight for freedom only to
return home to enslavement. In Lincoln, that dichotomy was reflected
poignantly in the experience of a young man named Peter Nelson. An enslaved
person in Lincoln, he would serve in the Continental Army on two occasions,
in 1777 and 1778, joining a fight for freedom that was not his own. Peter’s
experience represents a complicated part of America’s early history.

Author Talk - Rich Higgins (Adults) - Click for event flyer!


Thursday, February 13, 7:00 - 8:00 PM, Tarbell Room

harsh critic of the "respectable" Christianity of his day, but he was also
a mystic with a deep reverence for the sacredness of life. This book
explores his innate spirituality and his search for communion with a divine
mystery that was at once immanent in the natural world and yet
transcendent. No registration required.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Mice

[Kristina Fenn]

It’s great to see so much awareness about the use of rodenticides in Lincoln- it’s a terrible and unnecessary way of fighting an infestation (though I completely understand the desire to bring in every resource possible in those situations!). California has heavily restricted its’ use and I would be surprised if MA doesn’t follow suit in the next few years. For those interested, Arlington has a robust awareness campaign with resources that may answer any questions that arise: https://savearlingtonwildlife.org/activist-toolkit/Kristina On Jan 30, 2025, at 8:33 PM, Sasha Golden  wrote:I have a couple of cats who would be happy to assist.On Thu, Jan 30, 2025, 7:51 PM Judith Wong  wrote:It is illegal to capture mice or other wildlife and release them to another location. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/moving-wildlife#:~:text=Massachusetts%20law%20prohibits%20the%20capture,both%20wildlife%20and%20people%20safe.Judy WongSent from my iPadOn Jan 30, 2025, at 1:37 PM, Nancy Bergen via Lincoln  wrote:We have problems with red squirrels in our house.

I hate the idea of using poison.  We’ve used Critter Control in the past, and they sealed off gaps and as far as I was told, did not use toxins. I believed they used traps as well.  Pets can also become sick if the mice venture out to die and are eaten by the pets. Cats can also be helpful problem solvers in this department! :)Best,Margo On Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 9:47 AM DJCP  wrote:I don't have recs as my husband is our household's pest control expert, but you really should hire someone who will help seal any gaps that mice can enter thru.  Plus, most rodenticides work their way up the food chain and kill large prey like raptors and eagles.  In our house, we seal any gaps with spray foam and wire mesh, and then put out snap traps to catch any strays.  I know this is hard in older homes, but poison is not going to solve the problem in the long term as there will always be mice! Diana Giles Rd  On Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 9:31 AM Janet Maloney  wrote:Hello, I desperately need a recommendation for an exterminator.
