- June 17, 2014, 10:58:56 AMSpeaking of cats, our cat, who is an outside cat, was a great mouser when we lived in Chetwynd. However, she is obviously lax in her duties, or she would have killed the rat for me. Gonna have to cut back on her groceries.....she can rustle up her own....my sons miniature dachshund would likely have got the rat given enough time; he spent most of a day in that corner of the yard trying to find it. Oh well, rat went bye-bye, hope there was only one....

when I was in Cold Lake AB I had a six ft fence around my yard, and my border collie/lab mix she killed more skunks and cats coming under the fence, and never got sprayed.......I had no animals around my yard........
....except one big rat....

- June 17, 2014, 07:53:58 AMSomewhere, I have a picture of my late, much missed Scottish Terrier puppy Angel. When she was just the ripe old age of 5 months, she dispatched 12 grain rats in about 30 seconds. It's a built in behavior, no lessons necessary. I've had a Scottie or two around the house for about 40 years...no problem with either vermin or cats...and the rabbits stay out of the yard, too!

- June 16, 2014, 22:08:21 PMWell, the Mad Trapper won this round. Got the stinky little sucker last night.The funny thing is, the first night he sprung the live trap but escaped, last night he fought his way back in for the cat food I had used for bait; must have ate too much to squeeze out through the hole he went in through. Anyway, there he was in the trap so I introduced him to my pellet gun.

- June 16, 2014, 00:34:25 AMTo quote my mountain friend from the NG papers....
"In the Canadian province of Alberta, a 50-year battle has succeeded in keeping the province rat free. But it's not an easy task. To deter such a resourceful animal requires eternal vigilance."
this article has more info for you to read,

I lived in AB for 5 years and was amazed by this fact and it has to do with the grain.
