8. The owls and hawks do a good job.

We live in California central valley which is a native habitat for foxes. We had a fox family move into our neighborhood a several years ago, I haven't seen a rat or mouse since. They cleared out the rats. When the foxes were very active in our area I saw one slinking past our house with a rat tail hanging out of his mouth. We figure they moved to another hunting ground. Community college a few blocks away, lots of food for them. The possums eat the snails, we don't use pesticides because of our wild critters. You can tell if a possum has visited during the night because they will leaved the snaill shells lined up after enjoying them. The circle of life in a 100+ year old house, in a neigborhood built in 1912. We see raccoons, possums, foxes, hawks, and owls several times a year. When the hawk squacks and circles above, the birds get very quiet and disappear into the leaves of the trees. We really enjoy our feeders and watching the antics.
