Bandicoots are our furry pest controllers. And they are very cute pest controllers indeed. They don't advertise, they don't own a van, they don't use chemicals. Yes, this pest control control business is a little hard to contact, but they do offer a free service. What's not to love. They eagerly seek out, using only their keen sense of hearing and smell, corbies and cockchafers. These grubs are the scourge of farmers, as they eat the roots of pasture grasses, and lay large areas completely bare of any vegetation. But these root eating grubs are bandicoot delights. They will feed on other insects, worms, berries and fungi, but cockchafers and corbies are their preferred delicacy.
Bandicoots are really not fussy when it comes to creating a home. They have little need for a grand homestead, preferring a modest dwelling, a bit messy in fact, such as a wood heap, a pile of bark, or just some long grass. More of a vagrants way of life. But if left alone, may stay awhile in your backyard, happy to clean you out of your lawn grubs, and be on their way. You may see them in the suburbs, or at night trudging along country lanes and hedgerows, trying to avoid attention, sleeping rough in the long grass. Just doing what Bandicoots do best, loving anything grassy and eating what lives underneath that grass.
Bandicoots are like all wonderful volunteers doing community service, no advertising, just getting on with the job of caring. Our communities show compassion with cake sales, sausage sizzles, and raffles, raising money for those in need. Our volunteers drive ambulances, man country fire brigades, care for children, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled. It makes for a very caring society and our Bandicoots are also there, quietly doing their community service without fuss, recognition or reward. A local hero.
