[Farmall] Rodent (and other animal) killers

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

I've never had a problem with rodents chewing on the wiring (don't have 
any chipmunks in our area). Don't use any poison's or chemicals to keep 
the critters out of the garage or house. When I mow, I cut as short as 
possible. This makes it easier for hawks and owls to spot any rodents and 
have a good lunch. For some reason we have owls and hawks cohabiting in 
our woods. Don't think that's supposed to happen. 

When mowing, you'll occasionally see me doing donuts on the lawn as I try 
to catch a rodent that I kicked up, with the rear tire. I usually make a 
second pass to make sure it's flat. I'll also hit the brakes or swerve for 
any snake I happen to see.  Even the common garter snake will take care of 
the smaller rodents

 Keeping wood piles and such cleaned up also helps. Give them a nice spot 
to make a home and they gladly move into yours.

In the last two years I've had more problems with muskrats in our pond 
than I've had in the last eleven years with the typical field mouse.
