So, get you a big ole barn cat. Your girls will love it, and it will take care of the critters.
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... :lol:

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. :lol:

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!
