Anyone else experiencing a rodent explosion in numbers on farms and ranches?

not as many in Archer county as there has been the previous 2 years. I think the guzillion coyotes out there keep em down.

Seems like I see more every year.
Mice in goliad. Huge rats in leon co.

I mowed about 30 acres yesterday and noticed quite a few rats, more than usual. This is in North Arkansas and we've had maybe a slightly wetter than average summer, but a really wet spring.

Maybe it's a widespread thing?

All the ponds are full and have been overflowing. The humidity has been very unpleasant. I ended up having to leave brushy areas below and on the pond dams alone until things dry up more. The tractor started sliding sideways when I attempted to drive across a further dam that wasn't near as steep. Figured I had better not push it. So thankful for no injuries or equipment damage.

Every time I see a fresh cut coastal field lately it's full of buzzards.

Be nice to those friendly snakes and the rodents will depopulate

I've been finishing up the shredding on all the pastures. With the abundance of rain and tall growth of grass, I noticed way too many rats. The hawks and buzzards have been eating well because of my work. Wish I could run over more.

I was thinking the same thin this last week. I haven't seen this many before(erath county). I'm just shredding the tops of weeds and leaving the grasses good for livestock and wildlife forage but I hate seeing all them scamper free.

It's because of the eclipse! Lol! On a serious note have had an abundance of mice and spiders.
