    If you have mouse infestation the safest way to deal with it is by getting a cat The bonuses are : -loving companion just don't pet him on his tummy for long -The environment doesn't suffer -the mice will sense the danger after some time and go to your neighbors if they don't have a cat -for some time you don't need to worry if your cat is fed, but is good if you provide her with additional food. -in the cold winder nights your feet will be worm:)

    Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

        Haha. The cat we had was rumbling the shutters if he couldn't wake us up with his meows. :laugh: We learned to keep them out of his range then :D

          You would think a cat would solve the problem, wouldn't you? A few years ago, my parents had a rat problem. They also had upwards of 2 dozen cats. The funny thing is that the cats would always act as if they are starving*, yet only a few of them would try to catch some rats. * They didn't. The greedy bastards just liked stealing food from each other.

          What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

              There's a small and subtle difference between mice and rats. I've seen rats that would easily eat a large dog - no way that a cat (with working survival instinct) will hunt such a thing.

                True, but some of those cats would probably assist the rats in ganging up on your large dog :-) In all seriousness, some of them did attempt to catch turkeys and hadedas.

                    Normally an adult cat easily can kill a rat. They don't need to be hungry to do so. Its good if they are fed even. The problem is the behave of the rat. If they don't behave like a pray the cat wont attack. Its the same with dogs. If the cat doesn't feel threaten she will attack only if the target is behaving as a pray. Search for some videos in Youtube you will see many results.

                      Worming tablets as a precaution: it costs me £1.70 per month to worm Dij, and £2.50 per month for flea treatments. You couldn't feed Victoria Beckham for that! :laugh:

                        Three cats that stay mostly in, one cat that only comes in to eat and a dog. We have very few issues with... unwanted wildlife like rodents (mice, voles, moles, rats) and snakes. In living here for almost 15 years, I've only seen one large (2 foot plus) snake.

                            I find it more fun if they bring in birds... especially those that are a bit bigger (like a blackbird) and release them inside :laugh: We had to collect the feathers in the whole appartment and that damn bird was too dumb (or probably scared) to realize that a window only lets through the light...

                                    What about coyotes? You should not let your cats out during the night. Its dangerous.

                                    Many neighborhood dogs; so they stay scarce. And as for the cat that only comes in to eat? He chooses to live outside and has done so for 3 years.

                                      I find it more fun if they bring in birds... especially those that are a bit bigger (like a blackbird) and release them inside :laugh: We had to collect the feathers in the whole appartment and that damn bird was too dumb (or probably scared) to realize that a window only lets through the light...

                                        Probably is, but it's the way he drops it, looks at it, looks at me, slaps it, and strolls off with his nose in the air... :laugh: Then I get to hunt the damn thing down and fish it out of whatever tiny hole it has found before it poos, breeds, or dies...:mad:

                                          Three cats that stay mostly in, one cat that only comes in to eat and a dog. We have very few issues with... unwanted wildlife like rodents (mice, voles, moles, rats) and snakes. In living here for almost 15 years, I've only seen one large (2 foot plus) snake.

                                          Friend had a cat that would catch snakes and bring them to the front door to show off.
