Rats in garden
Hi
I am new vegie gardener, this is my first year. We are just starting to get a few things ripening and now something (I suspect rat) is eating them! I am reluctant to use baits or traps and was wondering what you folks do? regards Paul |

I am reluctant to use baits or traps and was wondering what you folks do? I need to regularly bait for rats, otherwise they'll take any snail bait I put out. At first I was puzzled by the disappearance of the snail bait, every last pellet, but finally spied a rat in broad daylight skipping about gathering it up! I thought if he ate enough it might bring about his own demise, but that wasn't to be. I place rat bait under an upturned polythene crate, leaving a small gap under one corner. The crate protects the bait from rain and my hosing, and stops neighbours' pets from getting to it. -- John Savage (for email, replace "ks" with "k" and delete "n") |
