    Just yesterday my newspaper had an article about an area that had a massive rodent problem. They were going for the long run answer and putting up owl houses. These birds eat masses of rodents. Barn owls are large, some owls are huge and can take out a kitten or anything tiny that moves at night.

    And wasn't it one of the 3 Stooges that always said "I have meeces to pieces"? I'm with him! LOL
