I love glue boards. Work well. I even had a garden snake infestation in our garage and the boards took care of it!

Just discovered that Buckeye chickens are supposed to be as good as cats for killing mice. They kill em and eat em. I’m picking some chicks next week from Cackle Hatchery in Lebanon, MO. My barn is overrun with the little vermin and I’m not a fan of cats. This should serve the purpose for meat, eggs, AND vermin control.

I would usually say cats but that sounds like an idea. At least it beats watching an animal suffer or tear its guts out glued to a trap

My experience in keeping chickens since the mid 70’s is that all full size chickens will kill mice. All breeds. I have never seen a chicken that would not go after a mouse. .

Good points to remember!
My cats bring mice in to play with. I have a couple of storage sheds. One had two dozen cartons of shelf stable milk, all had been eaten on and spoiled. I recently replaced them and put them in small metal trash cans.

Several years ago, I checked on a food cache. I had a commercial plastic grocery bin with a folding top, wired shut and all holes were plugged. Inside were two cases of MRE,s and I mean were, all were eaten. The field rats ate through the 1/8 inch hard plastic! All my stored food is now in metal or glass.

In the US southwest, mice infestations sometimes cause Hanta Virus. A plague. Not good.
