Great idea, and my wife loves it too. I just hope they stick around and don't go exploring forever, never to be seen again...Crossfire wrote:You need a cat. Our cat, who lived a long life, recently give up his ninth life. I think a coyote had something to do with it. But I digress... Fact is, he took care of ALL those things. Snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, dove, and even rabbits. He was something.
So, get you a big ole barn cat. Your girls will love it, and it will take care of the critters.

Pest control in the country
Well, with Spring essentially here, the critters are coming out!
We're out in the sticks now, and out property backs up to a large ranch. So far, we've run across scorps, tarantulas, and snakes. They don't bother me one bit as we're living on their land, and we've got to share.
But I've got two little ones (2 and 3 year old girls) and my biggest fear is one of them getting stuck. Does anyone have any recommendation for a decent pest control for a one acre area? Granules will likely be easier, and I'd prefer to have something where I don't need to worry about my dogs or kids getting sick from it. Not necessarily poison, but a deterrent or repellant?
Someone told me moth balls keep snakes away...any truth to this?
Thanks!
