I try to solve the wild rodent problem with a 5 foot black rat snake who lives "free range" in the rodent room. Unfortunatly he shuts down in the winter which is when the worst infestation occurs but he is a happy rat snake in the summer between the natural incursions of Deer Mice and the occasional escapee. He also likes to try and get into the breeding racks so one has to make sure they are contained. Not sure if he gives the rodents nightmares or not... One thing I cant figure is...if the snake cant get out...how the heck do the Deer mice get in? Mayby he just hasnt wanted out yet?



I wouldnt mind if the little beggars just ate a bit but they seem intent on carrying off all the kibbles they can to store for a rainy day. My walls are probably insulated with dog kibble.

They also have an extremly aggravating tendancy to gnaw holes in my vinyl water lines. They havn't hit on the tub gnawing idea yet.
