Cdaquila needs to permanently ban Rick Suddes from this site.
Joe, apparently Carolyn has removed Rickās Spam post. Respectfully asking that you edit out the link also.
I live in the country and had this same problem as well. I would use rat traps on the packrats that caused so much damage but didnāt want to leave a baited trap around. Those things are NASTY if a pet or other animal gets into them.
Another problem with living in the country is that people from town dump animals. I had two pregnant cats dumped because anytime a female cat gets dumped, it has to be pregnant. Once the kittens were raised and I had the mothers fixed, I kept the mothers, gave the kitties away, and no more rodent damage! My only complaint is that they like to leave dead animals around but I know they are doing there job.
Another zombie thread.
Yep after five years same answer-cats and garages unless you prefer snakes. Even spraying that stuff around, you still need a garage.
