When I moved to my property in Kentucky (zone 6a) 5 years ago it was LOADED with voles and mice. I had 2 male inside/outside cats, both of which became very plump and happy! I inherited 2 male kittens 2 years later, and now I have 4 very happy, very plump cats and NO voles, mice or moles. I do get the occasional "present" next to my bed (I don't think they understand why I don't like to eat them), but I am extremely happy with my solution. I know 4 cats are alot, but I have over 3 acres and a lot of iris and daylilies, and I would die if I had to go through what some of you have. I supplement the cats with dry food, but they don't eat very much of it except in winter. So, if you can live with the cats, they are a great solution, at least I found that in my case. Now, if I could only train them to get the spiders......
