Have a mega-huge problem with rats!!
Have had a blitz on food lying around the place, its all away neatly in plastic bins, done what we can, but the real problem is there will inevitably still be bits of corn etc in the chooks pen.
I'm being overwhelmed; this year has been a very bad year for some reason; they are even eating my cats dried biscuit which is up on one of the feed bins!! Never known that happen ever before!
I cannot use poison as there are way too many things like guinea fowls, hens, and dogs, that could pick it up. I'm just not prepared to take that risk.
Have two cats here! Can't have any more cats, as that would upset my old girly (who still pulls her weight, bless her).
Any ideas folks? I've tried a home-made trap where you suspend an empty beer/coke can (which you coat with peanut butter) over a bucket - saw this suggested on another site I'm on. It didn't work!
Any ideas anyone??
I'm desperate, and frankly, it's beginning to get me down. I'm busy, and can't deal with this!
