darkwoodali Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Help! We seem to have a whole host of rats running riot in the garden. We live in a farm cottage so I know it's basically part of country life but the sheer number of them is a bit disconcerting. I've two small children (1yr and 2 1/2yr) and am pregnant too - in addition to the four chooks! They're having a right feast from the Grub - anyone know of a rat proof feeder? Also, any ideas on how to get rid of them, I guess a local rat catcher would be the most humane and best for the kids/chooks/dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That number and your situation, I would ring the Rat Catcher! Not sure about a rat proof feeder, but make sure you take food in at night. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rhode Island Red Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Set a few traps, snap traps are brilliant but you would want to be sure no chickens or pets or people get caught in them. P.S Peanut butter is a brilliant bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwoodali Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks. Hubby just gone to buy traps and we're going to talk to the farmer about getting a man out to sort them out. Dog just came in with a bloody mouth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
