Maybe they'll even share their catch with you.  |
I wish I could utilize a method like that in my area. Around here, a cat outdoors at night lasts maybe a week before becoming a meal for a coyote.
My largest rodent problem is with rats, and maybe a squirrel once or twice per year. In my neighborhood there are enough dogs out in the daytime to keep the squirrels and rats in hiding. I have bait stations on my property containing the poison-laced millet seed which really keeps the population down. I have also been known to utilize a crackbarrel air rifle with a laser sight.
This time of year there is usually a big influx as the yearlings hatched in the hills last summer come looking for new homes.
