Not sure where this should be but I was pouring the oats out to drain them and two drowned rats fell out! YUCK!

Needless to say I've chucked the oats, water and buckets!

Ah well there's two Heather Mills can't milk

i had a dead mouse in a bucket yesterday eve too

they are all over the place and my feed is in bins - the room is clean and swept, plus ive had poison once already, but there are mice everywhere

 

[amandathepanda]

UGHHHH! I am so scared of rats!!! Perhaps you should donate the two dead bodies to Heather Mills as she could probably do with some friends at the moment hehe

 

[TGM]

Yuck! That's why I soak my feeds inside my metal feed bins!

 

[Stacie_and_Jed]

Grose. I hate rats but dont mind mice. We have two huge ones at the yard who just love running out infront of people. Encluding me!!!!

 

[severnmiles]

I know, my feed room is clean too and the oats are in feed bins but we still have loads of them around, I think thats because we have a pig and chickens, they seem to go hand in hand. What a grim death, I'm a bit pee'd off about the wasted oats and not enough time to soak anymore for today

I could open a cheese factory if I start milking the things!

i was walking along in town yesterday and heard a rustling in the bushes, had a look because i thought it was a bird - big rat dragging an apple!

 

[jumpthemoon]

Gross! Rats are hideous! Yuck yuck yuck! We have mice which aren't so bad

Last winter i put my hand in a feed bag and a rat ran up my arm and jumped off my shoulder! Scary s***!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Vieshot I think I would have shat myself if that would have happened to me .

We have a cat around the yard now and it seems to be doing a great job as this time last year we had 5 rats about and alot of mice, Havent seen one rat or mouse .

Dont mind mice but rats are just vile .

 

[severnmiles]

Haha, we were ratting with the terriers and one jumped off a bike at me! Gross...I hate them!

 

[Capriole]

ive debated whether to borrow/kidnap a cat

there are guard dogs but i could lock it in my tack/feed room...

 

[horseygirl123456]

Get a jack russell. My cats prefer mice or birds but Lil (who is normally found under sons quilt) is a demon where rats are involved she even ripped the front off a chest of drawers in the tack room to get at one. It just cause a few headaches when she hears the kids hamster in its wheel!

god i hate rats i had one drown in a water butt once i was horrified and hate going in the hay shed, yuk yuk yuk i usually run in the other direction lol

 

[severnmiles]

Our JRT's and Inuits tally is into double figures but we still have rats

 

[Tempi]

i had that when Archie was on the soaked oats diet once

disgusting!!!!

if you're putting poison down for mice and/ or rats, you need to keep putting it down daily in the same places until it stops disappearing.. that way you make sure that every rodent in the colony gets some...

then you need to be on the look out for dead ones under bales, bags even bedding! ewwwww
