RE: Oh Rats - They Are At It Again
I live in dairy country, and no better environment for rodents exists. Every dairy has a predatory herd of cats. There is a reason cats were domesticated, and crop preservation is that reason. They may not eliminate the rodents, but enough cats will keep the population of rodents to a survivable number. It's a proven method of rodent control.
My best wishes for your success.
Thanks!
Well cats are a good way to control rats, but sadly, my mom despises the stuff and refuses to have them on the farm :(
Hmmm... Other predators then, like rat terriers, or imported non-poisonous snakes. King Snakes aren't poisonous, and primarily feed on rats. If they keep the rat numbers down, they'll help keep poisonous snakes away too. The rats will bring the locals to the feast, if you can't reduce their numbers.
