A cat will make certain you don't even have a bug in the house that goes un-noticed cause they'll stalk it even when it's on the ceiling.....everything is prey to them. Mice/rats are not dumb and they won't hang around.

Why doesn't the EPA put this much attention into banning the pesticides that are killing off the entire bee population in this and other countries? Once the bees are all dead what are we going to do? Send the 12 million illegal immigrants out on ladders with flower pollen and Q-Tips to pollinate fruit trees ???????
