Any animal, usually from a fox sized animal or smaller, that causes destruction to property. Most likely to be squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, and groundhogs.
a specially designed container, generally inverted cone, where varmints such as mice rats squirrels gophers can slide in and find food and water but not be able to exit. Being wide open at the top and placed near natural perches for raptors, birds of prey and coyotes can easily enter, consume the varmint then freely exit, reducing the need for poison control, encouraging perching of raptors in spaces where people benefit from protection of food, crops, plants from nuissance varmints, ultimately reducing disease, costs and balancing the natural system
I saw a rat scurrying around our garden at dusk as it was looking for food and slid into the varmint pit, where an owl perched on a nearby raptor perch in the night and saw an easy meal. It was all caught on our wildlife camera.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
