You can't. Rats are awful... and I feel less bad knowing that i'm not the only one dealing with it

Hi all,,,


I just finished eliminating a horde of Rats. It was not fun, it was like 10,000 residents of the Vast wasteland to the north invaded at once.

I had no rats then a billion rats! I moved every thing out of where they invaded and started feeding them bars of rat poison by the gross... And it was gross.

I know it is nothing to be ashamed of but I felt dirty the whole time they were here. It took nearly a month but I am not happily rat free.

The rats were the reasons I changed feed, feeders and got cats. When my old dog passes this summer or fall I am getting a rat terrier.

My Dad had rats in one of the granaries here 40-50 years ago, I now know why he was so Po'd about it. I felt the same way..

So good luck in getting rid of them, I really do know how you feel.

Pretty sure I just got my first DUCK egg!!! Don't tell the local duck hater, though. Don't wanna traumatize him!!!

It's larger than my big brown sex link eggs, so i'm 99% sure it's a duck egg. LOL it was also covered in mud, and in the duck area.

Dux eggs attract rats and other undesirable things....

Alberta is rat free.

Glad you got rid of them. What size are they? I've only ever seen mice....
