- ipaddr 1y agoIf you have mice you won't have rats. Mice can be a positive sign.
- delichon 1y agoI have both. I've trapped both in the same trap on the same night.
- mikkupikku 1y agoGet yourself a nice black rat snake. (Unironically, it drives me up a wall when I hear about people trying to exterminate snakes and spiders; the only reason those are around is because their food is.)
- chairmansteve 1y agoI have a black widow problem. Their food is flying insects.... Any tips?
- mikkupikku 1y agoI wouldn't worry about them. A few thousand people get bit by them every year but there hasn't been a fatality in decades. They're very unlikely to bite and very unlikely to cause any harm at all even if they do bite. Maybe get some sticky fly paper though.

- dwd 1y agoDaddy long-legs are known predators of Australian red-backs, while the American cellar spider supposedly hunts black widows.
- marcosdumay 1y ago> the only reason those are around is because their food is For some reason everybody in my city is proudly boasting bout the recent large capybara population... And again, for some reason those same people didn't react well when jaguars decided to show up in the urban area. People are stupid.
- zdragnar 1y agoWe have all of the above and more. Alas, my wife is more afraid of our rat and pine snakes than she is of mice and rats. Fortunately, the pine snakes only try to move into our house and sheds once or twice a year or so.
- 3rodents 1y agoRats are brilliant animals, they’re just tiny dogs. If you treat your rats well, they would have no reason to attack mice and would co-exist (although your rats would probably get sick because of disease. Pet rats (fancy rats) are illness prone.)
