The problem with using cats for rodent control CB is that cats cannot go down rodent holes. Snakes can and will. Also if you have stored hay/straw cats can't squeeze into a lot of it between the bales , but snakes can. Also cats poop up in the hay when it's stored up in the barn, snakes...no problem. While in Oregon I would catch most any snake(non venomous) I could find while out walking, tie it up in my headscarf and take it home then turn it loose under the house and duck house and pen. Never saw mice or rats on my three acres on the Willamette River there. My neighbors had barn cats and they killed snakes all the time as they had mice in their hay and chicken coop. .. Duhhh LOL
Now that I am in North Carolina on The Albamarle Sound I have Rat snakes here, two color variations and they seem to do a good job on rodents. Haven't seen any rodents in garage or shop area and of course non in the house. I guess we need to realize who our friends are.
