Ours were in our yard (posted pictures for family at one point titled 
"weed and feed" :-), and started out very nicely eating only the 
grass.  Then moved on to the garlic, the roses, the onions, and a few 
other things I really didn't want them to fix.  So we fixed the short 
in the electric fence and got them shorn, and that took care of the 
weed and feed gone overboard.
