Doug Declares War on the Vermin

New Zealand was free of furry pests, I think, until the Europeans showed up. Without big mammalian and airborne predators, they have flourished to this day. We may be living in paradise, but we are sharing it with a lot of mice, rats and possums. The temperatures are beginning to drop and that appears to be driving them to seek the warmth of our house.

After much consultation with the locals, I've got a plan to fight back. Good ol' fashion mice traps, mice/rat poison and a wicked snapping possum trap are now part of my arsenal. May the battle begin...
