Question by k_maxx: What to do about mice attracted by chickens?
Last night I was out putting our backyard chickens in the coop at about dusk. In about 15 minutes I saw 3 mice! Today I’ve seen them a few times again! I’ve put out a few traps but I’m afriad that may not cut it and my cat is too old to catch mice anymore. Will traps be sufficient in getting this mouse infestation under control? What should I do?
