Default Rat in yard!

One citation for what?
Eating their young if their population density exceeds their
food supply?
http://newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen99/gen99259.htm

Or the similar comment in the "Yucky but fascinating facts" of
http://bugrunner.com/rodents.htm

And actually, you simply asked for one citation. I could have
given you any citation on most any subject, under the terms of
your request.

I wish it was that easy, but what do you do if you stop feeding them

and
they do not disappear? What happens if the bird seed is the smallest

part
of
what they are feeding on then what? What if their primary source of

food
is
something that just happens to be buried where you cannot see it then

what?

I really wish it was as easy as "Stop feeding them, and they'll

disappear."
