Rodents and their (safe) demise

Anyone in URG had any success in eradicating dear old Roland Rat from their garden *without* resorting to rodenticide? http://tinyurl.com/2ddqhy Which leads to http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/twin-pack-of-p...QQcmdZViewItem Rats aren't daft. Set a trap in a suitable place, you'll probably get one on the first night but that's it, you won't catch any more just there. A combination of a suitable rodenticide used as per the instructions + and this is probably the most important part of the programme, denial of access to food and living space. In other words, stored foods kept secure from rats, waste foods disposed of properly. Building maintenance and garden maintenance to fill or block off any voids suitable for runs or nesting, get rid of any rubbish that might provide living space. Constant vigilance, if it looks like they're moving back in, start baiting again and keep baiting until they stop taking it. -- Rod My real address is rodthegardeneratmyisp |
