Years ago some family friends retired from the Air Force, and bought a family farm in Texas that had been empty for a few years. He expected the place to be over run with mice and rats, but found none. He and his wife both grew up on farms in the area.
His first morning in the place he grabbed his coffee and went to the front porch to enjoy the view of his new place. There was a rattle snake on the porch so he grabbed his pistol and dispatched the snake. The next morning, same thing on a different spot on the porch. When the third morning care around, and yet another rattle snake was dispatched, he called a fellow farmer and asked about a snake control company. They found over 70 rattle snakes under his house.
After they were all rounded up, within a few days the rats and mice arrived in droves. He started missing the rattle snakes, and started looking for a few barn cats to adopt.
