any ideas on getting rid of rats in your garden.

Aside from the usual traps and poisons, you need to ask why they are there
in the first place or they will just come back again? Is there a lot of
rubbish in the vicinity? Any food lying around, perhaps scattered from a
bird table? Does a neighbour throw out bread for the birds? Do you put
meat into a compost bin - apparently this attracts them.
Are there good places for them to hide and set up nests?


it may be that rats will always be in the vicinity. we live near farmland.
our neighbours see rats running around occasionally. Our neighbours have an
apple tree and the fruit falls into both gardens. we both make the effort
to pick up the fallen fruit.

we don't see rats running around in our garden, our cats see to that.
