Get a cat!
In my experience, a cat 'gets' you :-)
Quite why I would want a thing that sheds hair and generates static
electricity around my classic computes is a mystery, but I do. I _love_
cats....
It is a well known fact that rodents and felines are
seldom found together.
Indeed...
The cat will take up residence on the warmest part of
your equipment.
The cat will get bigger and the rodents fewer and fewer.
Where I grew up (about 1/2 Mile from here) there was a farm opposite.
The barn had several resident cats. I asked the Farmers wife when she fed
them as I had never seen her do so. 'Oh!' she said 'towards the end of
October when they might get a bit hungry!'
Hmmm... It seems to be an observed fact (not by me) that cats hunt for
fun and not just for food, and that well-fed, strong, cats are actually
the best hunders. I can asusre you that if you keep your cat(s) well fed
and pampered (as I do), the lifetime of any rodents is still very short :-)
