Subject: RE: Rats


The Internet

They need somewhere to live and something to eat, so remove those things.

Have a really good tidy up.

Cut down any weeds around you building where the rats are to remove cover for them.

Get rid of anything they can hide under

Any grain, seed or feed that you have on site needs to be in a secure bin, anything they can't climb into, climb up and or chew their way into.

Block up they entrances into your building, storage, feed areas or where ever they are troubling you.

Find their burrows and hit them hard with poison. Make sure you aren't poisoning non target species and burn any dead you find. Keep poisoning them untill they stop taking it. They usually take a few days to start taking it, but once they do they will eat a lot. Do not under dose them. With 2 weeks all should be quiet.

They are great sport with dogs and guns, but as a means of controlling them it's a waste of time.

Once you have them under control think about encouraging some natural predators, raptors, snakes, etc.
