I hope your nasty unwanted guests vacate your property ASAP. So happy you are accepting help from friends, it really makes a positive difference. Looking good Phil🙏❤️
Getting rid of the rodents is important. It’s not an emotion. It’s not about anybody’s feelings. The animals are destructive. So well done doing a very difficult task. Love your videos! Love from Vermont.
Evicting those rodents is a necessity when your property entertains guests and pets. Rather than choosing a ‘permanent’ solution, they are being given a much kinder option. With you 100% Phil👍🏻👍🏻
Don't feel guilty Phil, you have the right to clean up so they'll move away, plain and simple. You're not killing them and that's the bottom line. Ignore the few who just want to upset you. You're a great guy and very compassionate and we love you!
Phil, You are an example of what the world should be like. Helping others not expecting anything in return but when they do you appreciate it. I try to do the same thing, it makes you feel good inside to know you can help others. Crack On.
Good to see you upbeat Phil. Now if those rodents would just pack up and leave. Your grounds are looking good. You are a good man and always helping where you can. Stay safe. Hugs to Lightning.
So GOOD you are removing all growth around the water banks at your property. The wild creatures may be rather small but they are beast of damage to land/trees and danger to your dog. When all growth is cleared there will be lovely views enjoyed by everyone. Glad to see you smiling!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you Phil. Something comes after one of my dogs....and they have to go !!! Don't mess with a mans dog :) The grounds are taking shape. You have a lot to keep up with and you are doing a bloody good job at it !!! Thanks for all the positive energy you are putting out in the world. The world needs more men like you !!
Your new hair cut is great Phil! You are doing the best thing, moving the critters on, and as others have said, you are not harming them, just trying to give them a big nudge that they are not wanted at yours, and to move away to another area, where they will not be a threat to your dog, or the banks where you live. xxx
Dear Phil, the rodents are not native to your area and it’s unfortunate when people bring animals native to other areas, into countries where they don’t belong. Your dog was attacked and God forbid a visiting child gets hurt. You are really ahead of the game this year, congratulations! You are a good soul, Phil. Love from Pennsylvania. xx
The erosion they cause is so devastating. Won't they come back just being run off? You need a more permanent solution and I hope you find one. The property is looking so Lovely.
4:21 to 4:57: YES! Excellent idea! Be excited. You can have a beer/wine garden/patio next to the stalls. Have a few portable toilets and sinks amongst the trees/shrubs. When you have time, renovate the caretaker's cottage. Once you have electricity in the cottage, you can have a refrigerator for anything needed in the beer/wine garden/patio. (I see the ground floor as a lounge space with wood burning cook stove...to make tea and warm up leftover food/takeaway from your pub. 😊 Upstairs...cozy loft sleep area with a mountain of pillows.)
Your tuberculosis comment made me laugh out loud. They need to go as they are causing so much damage and will breed creating even more damage. Your grounds are looking gorgeous in the spring sunshine. You're doing a good job.
When you pay it forward for the right reasons, it generally pays you back... when it's needed the most. Also, if you search for positivity, it is all around you. If you live with negativity, it searches you out. 💞 You're a good guy, Phil, a really giving & caring person.
Phil you are a good person, never doubt that, you doing your best…and protect your property and your dog is more important…and those how are living outside the cities, knows more and care more about nature, and the space you have, beautiful, and it is always a joy to watch your video’s and those with Billy and his family….are special.. hope we see more of the floor you were doing…
Phil it’s great to get on top of the work. You have so much to do on your own. Your haircut looks good. Hope your able to get the rodent population in control. Ugly little buggers. They will destroy the bank so they have to go. Do what you must for the betterment of your property and the safety of your dog. Your garden looks good Phil. Be safe and stay well.
Phil, I am in your camp the rodents have become a nuisance and spreading germs. Surprising how much damage they do. The shrub cut back will be temporary they will look even better next year and more manageable. Always a pleasure watching your RUclips videos. Take care and pace yourself.
You’re wonderful, Phil. Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations with us. I really can’t believe I’m in touch with a guy is France! Who would have thought we can visit with people half way around the world. Keep smiling. I’m watching you from Ohio.
Great job filming this video. Love the opening music. Shocking to see the extent of the damage they have done and I’m glad you’re dealing with it. This was a great video.
Great cleaning Phil! You may want to get all of the brush in and around that area because those little buggers will end up draining your lake from digging their holes. Plant flowers or something lol p.s. glad your smiling!
I'm glad you are feeling better about yourself, you are truly the nicest guy on youtube. I always feel uplifted and happy after viewing your videos. You are always concerned for others and we need more people like you. Keep up the good work. Sorry you have to deal with the rodents.
My late Aunt had a saying, "When I do you a favor, you tell me thank you. You repay me by doing a favor for somebody else." We can really change the world by following this simple fable.
Helping one another is what builds a sense of community. Recent studies have shown that it contributes to peoples overall happiness too! Keep on helping others. I do the same , it give me a sense of purpose.
Wow....the damage is unbelievable! I am sure once everything is removed....they won't be happy and hopefully will move on! So sorry to see and hear this Phil!
Phil!!! Love your videos!!! I think you're an amazing person and you add to the lives of all who know you! I hope you get feeling better! I hope you don't feel to bad about bidding adeu to those freeloading critters! We simply cannot have anything threatening the happiness of your sweet pup! Much love from Utah ❤️❤️❤️
I'm with you on getting rid of them. As you know they attacked Billy's dogs too and at Chateau lagorce they had to stop up the holes that the rodents dug so the lake didn't drain. They do not play well with others.
It's great that you have the tools/equipment available to you, the mower did a great job. Yeah invasive species harming family pets, wild live and property is not cool. They probably carry disease as well. Drop a firecracker down the hole and scare them out. I'd be terrified to have them on my property. We have a rabbit in our yard right now, it's cute and does no harm so it's welcome. ☺ So glad your friend was pleased! He's talented and I was happy to join his channel.
A lovely vlog. Phil you deserve any help you get in return for what you have done for others including Ukraine. Just ignore the nasties they just unhappy with themselves.
Definitely has to be done. The detractors should consider the harm the imported invasive species do to the landscape and put the local ecosystem out of balance. A prime example is the introduction of grey squirrels who decimated the native red squirrels. We are currently doing battle with muntjac deer, another imported species. You have my sympathy.
The views from every part of your property are just stunning! Thank you for sharing them! I hope to travel one day, but if I can't, I so appreciate these amazing sights from across the globe. ❤
Those destructive critters are a menace! They are destroying the important trees and natural water courses. We all feel for you and Angi having to cut down your beautiful natural landscaping. We have moles in our neighborhood that is directly on the ocean. They devour the root systems of our native trees and landscaping also. Luckily we can set traps and put retardant out.
Slightly weird suggestion, have you considered a solar powered snake repellent/deterrent? It emits vibrations through the soil, making things uncomfortable for critters. Would that annoy them enough to move them on?
vendor booths are a great idea. Maybe local artists? Music and art work sounds like a great evening event. Wish I could come help in the prep work. The weather looks perfect for it.
You are a good soul, Phil. Your giving nature is admirable. I have enjoyed Neil's music, so it was easy to subscribe. Do what you need to do re your invasive visitors, because the safety of your family, pets, environment & even your business have to come first. Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏 🌈🌿
Agreed. Get them to move on. Another show I watched the woman was feeding them. Started off just around 3 of them and a few months later I saw their video and they were everywhere. Very scary. They had old dogs and cats. When I watch now, they're all gone. Nothing was said, but they are gone. Send them on their way.
Phil some channels get experts on to help viewers understand the situation the channel is in. The destruction of the land the coypu really have made it theirs. What local species could you safely introduce into the area to help rebuild?
Don't feel guilty removing those rodents out from your property, Phil. We have problems with gophers and kept digging holes in our yard. .. i wish there's an easy way to get rid of them, but unfortunately not. Good luck! Hopefully those rodents will be gone soon. Take care Phil and have a fantastic day😍
When i was about 17 y/o, I had a summer job at the local golf course. I used a similar flail mower, known as a MOTT, used to cut the roughs along the fairways. It was loads of fun to use. Had a full-size diesel-powered tractor to do the job. Taught me responsibility in maintaining it prior to using it, check motor oil level, fuel it and grease all the joints on the mower and tractor, at each grease fitting points.
Phil, you have cohabitated as long as you could with the rodents, we can all believe that once you cut back the banks, they will move on to the farmer's land. You need to protect Lightning, and your property. When you live a good giving life, it comes back to you. I am happy things are getting better for you. Event season is coming up quickly. Have a good night. Love from N.Y. I am loving Nigel's channel as well. Love from N.Y.
Best of luck getting rid of your unwanted guests. Kind of like getting rid of cane that grow and spreads like mad! Love your beautiful home and grounds! We need more humans like you in our world!❤❤
The estate grounds are looking beautiful. Great job! Yes often we cannot co-exist with animals that are destructive to the environment .I lived in the mountains for many years and battled snakes, I felt bad killing them but they over populated my land and were poisonous and became aggressive. Blessings.
You’ve got on quite a task to get rid of those ugly looking critters. Hope you can get some help. The grass you cut, that area is looking so good! Great that you’ve got plans. Glad you’re so positive😑
Your plans sound perfect for having stalls in the shaded areas… And opening up the area will give you extra usable space… creating beautiful sitting areas for looking to the Chateau. The little critters can move on…
Good morning Phil ❤ Isn’t it a great feeling to get the grounds knocked in shape as spring is coming 🥰 The nasty critters!! Could you use a vibrating sound or some sort of vibration machine to drive them away then sprinkle a nasty smelly something to keep them away ❤❤❤❤
So glad you're able to get the flail mower and get a head start on the "outer banks". Spring always helps with depression, I feel, as there is sunshine and so many blossoms. The chateau looks great; it is amazing that one man is maintaining all of this! Those coypu have to go, one way or another. THEY WEREN'T THERE FIRST - THEY ARE AN INVASIVE SPECIES 🤦♀ Geez, people, if you can use RUclips you can use Wikipedia to look up where and how they were brought to Europe, and how quickly they breed, like I did. I posted before, but maybe a reminder is needed: coypu have a gestation period of 130 days; an adult nutria (coypu) can produce two litters a year and be pregnant for a third. Sexual maturity is 4-6 months of age and they can produce a first litter by 8 months of age. THEY BREED YEAR ROUND WITH UP TO 13 PER LITTER. Phil, you are a gent to not use statistics to educate viewers - I know you are trying to be kind to us and the coypu. One good thing: you've wanted to clear some of the unwanted trees and overgrown shrubs from the banks and this is permission to do so and not worry too much about it. We both love nature and would never kill a creature or a tree, but the coypu are already killing the trees. Get Billy, Michael, and Ryan in and have a field day with all the Big Boy Toys.😘
Phil, you are an amazing man and a true friend to many, I'm glad that the people around you can see that. Keep your chin up and carry on doing what you do. You need to deal with those critters and your going about it the right way. Wish I was in France to give you a hand. Best wishes from 🇨🇦
I understand how you feel about the invasive rodents, we have the same thing with the cane toad here in Queensland another introduced pest. Your doing everything you are allowed to regarding eradicating them from your property, they are a danger to your dog and guests. Great to see you workung hard and enjoying it, keep up the good work. 💕🇦🇺
You're doing a great job, Phil! The garden is looking so beautiful. No worries about getting rid of the nasty little unwanted guests in your moat.The rodents are definitely invasive, so do what you have to do. It really can't be helped. Here in the U.S., conservationists are working to reintroduce beavers back into various areas of the northwest to help deter wildfires. It's actually working because beavers were always supposed to be in these places, but were pushed out by agressive farming practices since in the early 1900s. Those rodents you've got are a completely different situation. I don't like people killing animals, but sometimes it just can't be helped. Non-native Burmese pythons have become such a huge problem in the Florida everglades, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has started allowing landowners to kill them without a permit to help protect the fragile eco systems in the everglades. Anyway, I'm glad things are continuing to get better for you. You just keep ticking through your list, sweetiepie. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your fruit and veg garden. Hope to see you back again soon! 😘💕
I always like to think that you get back what you put out. I'm pleased you have friends coming over to help as it can sometimes be hard to motivate yourself when you're on your own there. Have a good week and get rid of those pesky little critters. X
I love animals but do understand that sometimes you got to protect yourself your pets and your property besides the desires about the bushes you could transfer them all the best
Phil, you just have to do what's best for you, your property and your puppy. They carry disease and are destructive.
Driving away the rodents is actually the environmentally friendly thing to do.
The native species in your area are going to thank you.
I hope your nasty unwanted guests vacate your property ASAP. So happy you are accepting help from friends, it really makes a positive difference. Looking good Phil🙏❤️
Getting rid of the rodents is important. It’s not an emotion. It’s not about anybody’s feelings. The animals are destructive. So well done doing a very difficult task. Love your videos! Love from Vermont.
Not every animal is a benefit in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Chateau is looking beautiful.

If you leave 6"-8" on the rhodies, they will grow back. Consider chipping all of the debris
Good to see you upbeat Phil. Now if those rodents would just pack up and leave. Your grounds are looking good. You are a good man and always helping where you can. Stay safe. Hugs to Lightning.

Well said. So true!
Them critters look a bit like a beaver/muskrat cross , they definitely need some help to move on , and whichever way works.....
Your new hair cut is great Phil! You are doing the best thing, moving the critters on, and as others have said, you are not harming them, just trying to give them a big nudge that they are not wanted at yours, and to move away to another area, where they will not be a threat to your dog, or the banks where you live. xxx
No Phil, It's you that is bloody wonderful . Hope those naughty residents get cleaned out , somehow>
Looking Spiffy around the Chateau and wonderful to see you smile again.
Dear Phil, the rodents are not native to your area and it’s unfortunate when people bring animals native to other areas, into countries where they don’t belong. Your dog was attacked and God forbid a visiting child gets hurt. You are really ahead of the game this year, congratulations! You are a good soul, Phil. Love from Pennsylvania. xx
The Chateau life must be so much work just keeping up with the home, the gardens and the land. ❤
You're really organized this year. Glad it's coming together nicely.
The erosion they cause is so devastating. Won't they come back just being run off? You need a more permanent solution and I hope you find one. The property is looking so Lovely.
You are such a lovely person, People that don't understand wildlife control are just nieve👍

Yes Phil I am going to take your advise and do something nice for someone today and everyday if I can and hopefully they will pass it on. Cheers Phil
Tuberculosis comment…brilliant!
You were the wonderful mastermind of spreading so much positivity Phil. Love and respect 💕
I'm with you on getting rid of them. As you know they attacked Billy's dogs too and at Chateau lagorce they had to stop up the holes that the rodents dug so the lake didn't drain. They do not play well with others.
You are one lovely man.Any one that has you as a friend is really lucky.Don't be afraid to ask for help xx
Tu es un homme à grand cœur, j’espère que des amis viendront t’aider à résoudre ce problème de ragondin envahisseurs et destructeurs. 👍😉
You are so generous with your work to keep history alive for the village. 😊
I love your vlogs. You're one of my most favorite people that I've never met. Lol Thanks for today's smile.

Kindness is its own reward. Although having things is nice, the only true pleasure I have found in life is making someone else happy.
He likes helping out people as long as they are kind and help him out when he needs help. 😊👍
Those destructive critters are a menace! They are destroying the important trees and natural water courses. We all feel for you and Angi having to cut down your beautiful natural landscaping.

Who would want oversized rats on there property I for sure wouldnt
Your wonderful and I love to help people great feeling.get rid of those rodents they are dangerous
You are a lovely person the world needs more like 😊😊😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Slightly weird suggestion, have you considered a solar powered snake repellent/deterrent? It emits vibrations through the soil, making things uncomfortable for critters. Would that annoy them enough to move them on?
I like the positivity! Wonderful... I hope you can get the rodent problem under control. Place is looking great.
your getting ahead of the grounds there looking good 🤩
vendor booths are a great idea. Maybe local artists? Music and art work sounds like a great evening event.
Wish I could come help in the prep work. The weather looks perfect for it.
Karma is a good thing. You’ve got a kind heart Phil from what I can tell from here in the states. Keep just being you. ❤
You are a good soul, Phil. Your giving nature is admirable. I have enjoyed Neil's music, so it was easy to subscribe. Do what you need to do re your invasive visitors, because the safety of your family, pets, environment & even your business have to come first. Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏 🌈🌿
Phil, you are bloody wonderful as well!!
Your right anything that is illegal get it out and i love dogs anything that hurts them has to go
Those varmits gotta go. There’s enough of them now they think they are incharge of that space and hurting Lightening! They gotta go!!
Agreed. Get them to move on. Another show I watched the woman was feeding them. Started off just around 3 of them and a few months later I saw their video and they were everywhere. Very scary.

Phil many of us are behind you so you do what you have to do to get rid of the rodent's good luck 🤞💕🌼🤗
When i was about 17 y/o, I had a summer job at the local golf course. I used a similar flail mower, known as a MOTT, used to cut the roughs along the fairways. It was loads of fun to use.

Taught me responsibility in maintaining it prior to using it, check motor oil level, fuel it and grease all the joints on the mower and tractor, at each grease fitting points.
Thank you for making this a more wonderful world to live in 😊 and inspiring us all!
Get rid of the pesky devils. Hope you get someone to help you. Keep smiling xx
Phil, you have cohabitated as long as you could with the rodents, we can all believe that once you cut back the banks, they will move on to the farmer's land.

Best of luck getting rid of your unwanted guests. Kind of like getting rid of cane that grow and spreads like mad!
Love your beautiful home and grounds!
We need more humans like you in our world!❤❤
The estate grounds are looking beautiful. Great job! Yes often we cannot co-exist with animals that are destructive to the environment .I lived in the mountains for many years and battled snakes, I felt bad killing them but they over populated my land and were poisonous and became aggressive. Blessings.
Your vlogs make me smile. Thank you
Best to get rid of them in case they hurt your dog again 😢
I imagine getting an alligator wouldn't suffice............
They are ugly little blighters Phil. Your lovely little lad has to be protected above all else.
Eradicating coypu is possible. A friend in France uses traps in which they drown. His neighbours agree. J.
You’ve got on quite a task to get rid of those ugly looking critters. Hope you can get some help. The grass you cut, that area is looking so good! Great that you’ve got plans. Glad you’re so positive😑
And you are bloody wonderful too.
You are "on it" Phil! Getting so much done. Good for you! Happy Spring!!
Your plans sound perfect for having stalls in the shaded areas…
And opening up the area will give you extra usable space… creating beautiful sitting areas for looking to the Chateau.
The little critters can move on…
Good morning Phil ❤

it is better to give than receive. Receiving always comes back as a gift.! Bon Chance! Cheers.
You’re bloody wonderful too!! I’m fairly new to your channel & I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Good luck with those pesky critters & Hi from San Diego☀️🌴
Phil, you are an amazing man and a true friend to many, I'm glad that the people around you can see that. Keep your chin up and carry on doing what you do. You need to deal with those critters and your going about it the right way. Wish I was in France to give you a hand. Best wishes from 🇨🇦

Those rodents you've got are a completely different situation. I don't like people killing animals, but sometimes it just can't be helped. Non-native Burmese pythons have become such a huge problem in the Florida everglades, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has started allowing landowners to kill them without a permit to help protect the fragile eco systems in the everglades. Anyway, I'm glad things are continuing to get better for you. You just keep ticking through your list, sweetiepie. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your fruit and veg garden. Hope to see you back again soon! 😘💕
I always like to think that you get back what you put out. I'm pleased you have friends coming over to help as it can sometimes be hard to motivate yourself when you're on your own there. Have a good week and get rid of those pesky little critters. X
I love animals but do understand that sometimes you got to protect yourself your pets and your property besides the desires about the bushes you could transfer them all the best
Helping others does make is happy..we reap a great reward
No squatters on property unless they are going to work to keep place nice and clean.😊
