I sure am glad that I live in good old Minnesota where we don't have the variety of critters that you all do. The few we do have pale in comparison to the zoo you all have.
If a cat brought a snake to me, the cat would be dead first and then the snake. I would probably be laying beside them dead from fright, lol.
This is my first year to use the pellets and I think I can see the difference. Next year will tell for sure. The morning after I put them down, there is a film that looks like mold on the surface. A day later it is gone. Is that normal???
