This is no joke. Low pounding frequencies scare the little creatures and they shut-up. Pound a 6"x6" post on the ground, and they think it's a Mastedon [elephant] and they shut-up------it works!                   

You're right, it sure sounds crazy (but folks consider me crazy, anyway). I have the room for a 6x6 post and a ten lb. sledgehammer in my van, if this showed any promise (would a 4x4 post do the same thing?). I've had it up to here, and would put a PA on the task if it did. My (sick and twisted) answer was a bottle rocket gun and a few bundles of Black Cats for the trees in question. But it felt, somehow...wrong. To the neighbors, anoles, and the birds, that is.
