We used to get rats in our compost but when I stopped putting all

I now put any bones, fat and meat scraps, of which there are very
few, into a dedicate metal dustbin where I leave it for about a
year or so to 'completely' decompose.

I have never had that problem. When they do visit the heap, it is
for nesting and the worms.



Ours made a nest in the top of the bin. Warmth from the compost process in
the winter, bits of veg to nibble and lots of worms. Rat heaven!
