Bearing in mind its not his riverbank, or his river!

Bear in mind that it is my mooring, for which I pay, and it is up to me to
keep it orderly.

That is why I asked on this group, because I wanted some useful advice,
exactly what I have been given by other posters and which I will take on
board in order to find a solution which is both eco-friendly and

effective.

I suspect that I shall implement something which rats don't like, as

opposed
to something which kills them, if I can. If not, maybe I will ensure that
they don't get on to the boat by some other means.


Just a thought - are these brown rats, or water voles, formerly known as
water rats? If the latter, they won't come on your boat, and you shouldn't
discourage them, they're quite rare.
