dearmary writes: I can understand how they are a problem. Every late fall they move inside my house, starting with the one who guards the ceramic mushrooms. Him, I don't mind, he does have a job in my garden. It's the rest. They keep reproducing and it's getting to be too much. I thought of kicking them out but since it can get to 20 below on a regular basis (45 below on occasions), I feel sorry for them so I let them stay. I need some way to control the indoor population during the winter. Once it's warm they all move out right away, so that's a plus. Nice video. Posted: 8:45 am on December 28th

birdseed writes: This is a bit frightening, but my son has built outdoor shelters for his gnomes. A couple are quite large. I sent him this video but I doubt they will leave, my son is kind of a gnome himself. Posted: 9:34 am on December 27th
