You need several Barn cats, not just one and even then they will only keep the numbers down not eliminate them. You could get a ratting dog and the very best are patterdales, you will have holes everywhere because they don't quit until the catch it, lol. They are extreme!
I oncewanted to live in the country and have goats, chickens and oodles of dogs. Then a farmer told me that on a working small farm, animal feces must be disposed of twice a day. A yard of poop is a buffet for mice. I'm too lazy to be a farmer
You put the food and water right by her house where the rats are going to eat her food I might have put him a little further away from her home just saying and she does not have an escape hatch if the rat goes inside her house.
Great video. Do these Cooler Houses work all year round. I need it for the winter in Tampa. I wonder how this would be in the hot humid summer weather. The cat would only be using it at night but it is still pretty hot at night here.
Many animal shelters have barn cat programs that adopt out cats to families who need barn cats. It’s not unusual, but I guess you wouldn’t experience that in city life.
Dont barn cats get to live in a barn? A friend has 6 barn cats and they keep the barn clean but they also feed their cats. Please remember to use straw, not hay, inside cooler. Material/blankets will be ice cold and not hold the kitties body heat. You can also insulate the cooler and surrounding areas. Please get rid of the poison, cats will eat it. If owls and rats eat the poison and your cat catches the other animals and ingests them, cat will be poisoned. Please make this kitty who had a miserable life part of your family. They are more than just rat 🐀 ers. Cats 🐈 will kill them but rats are not a food source for the cat. I know u said u are not a cat person, and i do hope you show him love, affection, spay/neuter. You give to him, they give back.
Straw not blankets to keep them warm if they’re going to be outside. Otherwise, great job. You will be blessed.

Loved the participation of the entire family!
OMG, a nest in the poison bag itself, that's hilarious!
Great idea to dress up the cooler! Appreciate you sharing.
Put organic straw inside for warmth. Also, straw will absorb moisture that grows bad mold.
Do you have a updated video on this? Would love to see how it turned out.
Nice job, clever idea!
Wish it was ours :) Pretty smart whoever came up with it.
Thanks again for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great ideas,always wonder what you guys will do next.Love all of them,look forward to the next one. XO
So far she is loving it.

Ours made it through the summer and winter in Southern California. We got down to about 25 as a low.
I have a few extra cats if you need them...lol
You need a black box for your poison so you don't poison your cats and all other animals that eat mice.
Hope the cat does it job
So far, so good. She is starting to feel at home for sure.
Thanks you. What is the diameter of the hole?
6 inches.
I’m sorry, I would much rather see this little kitty adopted into a warm house. 😢

Me too but better than nothing
Or at least with a kitty friend so she’s not alone
That's pretty scary hopefully the rats don't eat the cats.
First person!
Thanks for watching, Nate Dog.
you need another cat. And you need to brush up on your cat behavior knowledge.
