If you get cats to hunt your gophers, moles mice etc. make sure you get them from a Mother Cat Who Hunts!! I have some who are totally useless...we got field mice in our new house, shortly after building and moving in. They just watched them No killing. No chasing. Cat #1, "Hey, look, there's a mouse!!" Cat #2, "yeah, I know, so what?" Cat #3, "Aren't you guys going to kill it?", Cat#4, "Nahh, you kill it, I just had lunch". Cat#1, "It's not my job, I'm the sun tracker and it's time for my nap". Cat #2, "I've got cat toys, I'm not playing with a dirty old mouse". Cat#3, "I'd do it, but I have to go look for dust bunnies under the beds". Cat#4, "I'm not doing it either, I didnt let it in".

Also tried those stickly traps outside doorways and in the garage. Death count, 14 spiders, 32 crickets, and one tennis shoe.
