Hello
Ever since late summer, we've developed rats all around our garden. Not inside our house (as we know of yet).
They're very small, bigger than a mouse but not as big as the average rat. We have no clue what kind they are, etc. We got them when we moved the chickens into the coop.
They live under our wood pile, in our compost pit, all over.
We've tried killing them with traps, buckets, etc. Any suggestions on killing them or getting rid of them? The chickens constantly run around their run in the day like there's something there. The rats are not inside their enclosure, but I'm assuming that's the next step. Not sure if they're attracted to their food or their poop (which we dump in the compost pit, aside from the table scraps).
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide on getting rid of them. Not sure how many there are.
