Hello Amateur,

I've just become aware of rats running up the bird table to get the
bread. The rats seem to live under the shed.

I've put down poison bait on tobacco tin lids under the shed, and this
gets taken, but so do the tin lids!

The rats ignore the spring traps and the squirrel trap (big square
wire frame)

How do I get rid of them and also know that I've got rid of them?

They're only 10 foot from the kitchen door which I now keep resolutely
closed.


Probably the best way is to get a cat. Our cat cleared out 14 in as many
days and we
haven't seen one since! Ann
