Crowing
Rattle snakes here get the shotgun, or a shovel or stick if it’s more convenient. Bury or throw away the heads so nothing can get at the poison, it remains potent for a long time. We keep the rattles and dispose of the snake.

We've tried everything to get rid of mice and rats and have finally had some luck with the Tom Cat traps that have bait inside a box. When they eat the bait it expands and kills them. We have lots of neighbors' cats as well as wildlife around so we didn't want to use poison, and snap traps were a lot to keep up with. Plus it's depressing to deal with that every day.Thank you. Unfortunately, I do have a bad mouse problem that I've been working on since we moved in. My cats catch all the mice that come inside and the mice is why I desided to retire the preexisting coop and build a new one up off the ground. I do kill mice as I see them. the mice were so bad that at one point they would run up to me to bite my shoes. We moved the old coop away from our house and discovered just how bad the colony was under it. I'm seeing fewer mice now that we moved it. i do like the idea of bucket traps. I do have bull snakes that hang out. They help with the mice so I havnt done nothing but chase them away when they get too close to my chickens. I guess I need to ramp up mouse removal.
