I have an epidemic of outdoor rats and mice under my animal cages. I'd need thousands of traps. I hate cats. electronic devices don't work outdoors. Poison keeps on killing other species, but that's what I use. Snakes eat my birds. I kill them.
Any more suggestions?

kay now that I understand better where the rats and mice are at I know something else you can try.
Go to your local garden center and ask if they have peanutbutter base rat poison. Go out and look the mice and rats and watch where they are going back into the ground at. When you locate that place the poison right down in the hole and cover it up. That way your animals will not get ahold of it. Also the soda pop will workbecause rats can't burp or fart so they explode.

Try keeping your cages cleaner, wasting less feed on the ground, and elevating the enclosures so you can better clean under them. Reduce the food supply and you will reduce the rat population. We had the same problem at an aviary I worked at. We raised the enclosures, put concrete under them, and cleaned twice a day. We also stored all feed in metal garbage cans, and emptied the feed in the cages at night. It worked, or maybe it was the cat we adopted.

Ask yourself do you hate an epidemic of rats or is one cat all that bad. Hes a hired gun let him do his job just gotta leave some food out every now and have a dry place to stay. really no more interaction then that is necessary for a cat. The reason your talking about is the reason they where domesticated in the first place

A Jack Russell Terrier might work. I have friends that keep them on their farm for the purpose of keeping the rat population down. I believe they were initially bred for this, or it is in their natural history to some extent.
What kind of animal cages? How big, etc?
