My back yard has a bunch of trees, and the ground is covered with english ivy... there is a small yet functional eco-system out there.
I used to have a 'cat house' in back yard... that is... a small building for feral cats, who kept the rodent population down. The last few winters have been a bit on the cold side (anything below 20 is unusual here, we had single digit nights), and my feral cats have either moved on or died... not in the cat house though.
So now I need to find a couple of new feral cats... Or maybe go up into the N GA mountains and bring back big black snake (had one of those a decade ago).
One way or another... need something to keep the rodent population down.
