The rats and mice are just out of control around here... I've only seen one snake all summer. We kept it around since we don't have baby chicks this year and the rodents are bad. Hoped it would help but not enough... I started looking at rat traps. I really like the Uhlik Repeater Trap but can't bring myself to pay $240 for it, even if it is really good. Kept looking and came across this video which got me thinking... I can pick up a 55 gallon garbage can and make this... Wonder if it would work?
