Rat catching

[jowwy]

This is a picture looking at all the gardens at the back of my property. You can see old ruined sheds, chicken coops, overgrown wastlend in gardens, all homes for the ratties to stay in and not one owner interested in cleaning out their gardens or old sheds etc etc….

Theres now 3 gardens with chicken coops or open runs in that long row of 8/9 houses and at least 3 gardens leading off the back of mine with over grown bushes, trees, waste areas were rats can thrive.

You've got to be careful with anti freeze, it can kill poor cats who are just passing through a garden.
You can get those black boxes and bait them instead.

Yep a few licks is enough to rot a cats insides, to the outside.

Rats will enter wall cavities, climb inside of gutters to access lofts etc not for food but for harborage (a safe warm place to sleep).

Once one has got in and laid it's pee scent trail you're in trouble..

Unless you kill said rat and then clean said entry area down with neat bleach and then spray the area with peppermint oil……trouble overted. For extra insurance add a bait station with nice tastey poison

Good luck 👍.

Good luck 👍.

Its all sorted mate……any rats in the garden are now feasting on rat poison blocks in the bait station and dieing one by one. They can no longer get into the shed as its all sealed up and if they did, more tastey rat poison awaits…..all kept away from any other animals that could get into the garden.

This is my favourite so far...


Very simple, very effective.

He's going to need a bigger jar.

One rat even came out and sat on my inlaws steps in front of the patio doors in broad daylight and their dog was going mental at it and it didnt bat an eyelid

Well we had a visit today ! We have removed all bird feed from the garden . I do wonder if they also like grass seed as we have put a load of that down as well .

Next door has a bird feeder, I've spent all day removing loft insulation from the loft due to rat problems.

People call them Rat Feeders and they aren't far wrong..
