Managed to reduce the mice, rats, and kangaroos down to a minimum in my immediate area.

My feline companions hunted most of the mice with my assistance. I trapped and relocated the rats and kangaroos.

What was thousands of mice and hundreds of rats is now down to the stubborn smartest ones. Who keeps trying to avoid the traps, bait, and cats.

It takes a lot of persistence and patience. Having to clean their urine, fecal matter, and pheromones every single day until they are uncomfortable enough to be trapped, relocated, or hunted.

It is also an act of futility. Since the whole neighbourhood is full of millions of these mammals. The neighbourhood is derelict, and they keep chickens, ducks, and geese. The avian food pellets and water troffs are the perfect invitations of mice, rats, and roos.

Over the years, they have eaten everyone's dwellings and spread diseases rapidly everywhere.

It is actually healthier to be living outside than to be in a confined space/dwelling full of these animals' urine and faeces complete with the germs they have. When the heat and humidity rise, and just after rainfall, the whole city smells like urine, faeces, hazardous fungi, and nasty bacteria.

So many people live in poverty and they can not afford to do anything about it. They can also not afford to let them spread. I love how a few simple organisms and the micro organisms they harbour can cause so much disaster.
