That’s good that you were able to find some cats. My neighbors were adopted by a kitten that walked out of the neighboring corn field when they were out working in their yard. We aren’t expecting too much from 1 cat, but don’t have a big enough space or yard for 10 cats either! My youngest...
Great! So glad it went well and you could actually see them eating the poison -so you know they are receptive. As for one giving you the paw-what a cheeky little devil! Hoping to hear more success through the week!
I got a kitten. It was a feral street kitten before someone brought it into the shelter. We spent some time looking for the appropriate cat - Certainly I did not want some unaccustomed older cat to be thrust from home life into a barn. We asked a friend with more land and barn...they trapped...
We recently adopted a 4 month kitten thru the humane society. It will live in the barn, where we have an insulated area, but for all intents, it will become more of an outdoor cat, and we hope a good mouser. Funny though, we called around to several humane societies, and various rescues after...

HWC is pricey...but as you found, it is effective! I do not have a game camera yet, but according to others on here, there are some very good cameras at an affordable price. If you search on this "predator pest" forum, you should get some ideas on brands that are useful and inexpensive...
You are a good candidate for watching the old army videos of getting rid of rats. I think @Howard E is the one who has the link.
Did the exterminator tell you much in terms of where their home/nest was, or if he thought your environment was the source (woods, old buildings, hoarding...
Good luck to you. Rodents around /in your house are bad news so be ruthless. No judgement on using rat bait/poison bc you are right that you don’t want them around your home/kids.
We feed wet food: put in container and add water, stir, wait 5-10 min. Add more water to make like a very...
