Got rid of it before it started working on the house and the patio cement! Oh, that reminds me, PacBell put up a fake palm tree in the little local mini-mall. There are palms there and one day I went by and thought I saw something in that tree. The next time I went to the pharmacy (it's in that mall) I parked and looked at the tree and found out it's a cell phone tower. Now, I think that's rather clever! Kitten read where they have some in the shape of fake huge rocks and bushes and other types of trees. Whadda'll they think of next??? =^..^=
