[Market-farming] Rodents in High Tunnels

For the last 2 years I have had mice in the greenhouse and traps have 
done OK.  Not great - I have lost trays of large seeded vegetables like 
squash when the mice come out and eat the seeds right out of the tray.  
I had mice in the hoophouses last year and they decimated an early 
season pea planting.  This winter I'm keeping cats out by the hoophouses 
and have my fingers crossed that the cats will keep the populations in 
check.
