I agree with the cat suggestion. I was not a cat person, but the universe gifted us a little black kitten on our porch one rainy night after we moved in. He is an outside kitty and he is the reason why we have not had any rodent problems even though we live in a log cabin in the woods. I watched him take down 4 in a day with very little effort. Plus, just the smell of a cat around your property can deter rodents. Best of luck 🌱
