Default Rats, rodents, ... oh my!!!!

We have lived in the Villages for a little over 3 years now and have found that Shepard's hooks set a distance away from trees, fences, bushes and the like do very well.
Two problems we DO have are these: because of the constant wetness herebouts, the feed tends to get moldy much quicker than when we lived in Illinois. Secondly, when the birds eat, they get seeds all over the ground, none of which is what I want growing in my yard. (I wish my grass would grow that quickly). And I end up with all kinds of weird things growing out of Mother Earth.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"
