I've become an expert on rodents... I've been in the new place for 6 weeks today and have killed 4 rats and about 6 mice!
Why they like my yard I don't know... There isn't any food around for them but if I don't control them I know the snakes will come...
1) if there are places for them to keep cover, they will love it,
2) if there is stuff for them to chew on or pull around to make nests they will love it.
A place to hide & breed is more essential to them than food...
trust me I breed the damn things FOR snake food remember??LOL
the snakes may come, but they will only stay till the food runs out...
& if they do come & clear out the rodents but then won't go... put down cedar chips, these are normally deadly to snakes... but DON"T put them down if you have rodents... the rodents will eat them & kill any snakes that eat the rodents...Rodents can reproduce about 10 pups every 2 months, these pups sexually mature at 6-8 weeks old, you do the math...
I had one of my momma rats impregnated by one of her sons while they were still nursing !!!
enuff about rodents... lets get back to the OSP thread...
