Silly question.

If you have mice does it mean you won't have rats. I have been told as I have mice I don't have rats.

Nonsense. Ifyou have mice you will probably have rats. If you have rats you will probably have mice.

We've got mice but have never seen any signs of rats xx

i always believed this until monday when i found what was left of a mouse surrounded by rat poop, i think the mouse was dinner.
i then emptied out the tack room and found 4 more mice and i can smell the rats, so we have both at work currently

No you can have both!!
This time of year both are looking for somewhere with shelter and food to take up winter residence.
I take my Ferrets round on regular inspection of the farm building and that seems to keep things under control .
a jack russel or similar terrior is also quite useful for locating them

Our yard has both... you dont see the rats but they poo everywhere and nest in my bandages and wee on everything.... eugh..
