Yow! Mother Nature *can* be a real bitch. For controlling mice, nothing
beats a Black Snake (aka Black Racer). I had an army of mice living in my
garage until a Racer moved in (I found a shed skin in the grage door
springs). They're very thin and can work their way into the smallest crack.
He didn't even have to catch all the mice; once they sensed him the mice
moved out.
