Living on a farm rats come with the territory. We have a couple of bird feeders and when I first moved in there were loads of the buggers bold as brass they were. It was carnage as I shot at least 150 over the months through the window of the cottage with my air rifle.
Anyway I've found a new method. it's called the spinning log. the idea is that you place this metal cylinder across a bucket half fall of water and the rats obligingly walk along it and fall off into the water and drown. it sort of works. not that the rats have been caught. ( it might be that Billy, one of my dogs, keeps licking off the peanut butter) but they aren't coming into the garden anymore. they are frightened of white buckets. you saw it here first.
