@Ponypoor or rat dogs! Get terriers?
There is a guy who will come with ferrets to destroy rats. I saw him in the internet and don’t remember where he operates.
I imagine you could get someone with terriers to come every few weeks with their dogs until the issue was under control.

Edit: I meant dogs not digs - corrected - does anyone else have issues typing vowels correctly on their phone? I don't think it is Auto-correct, I think it is my thumbs.

Well, tonight DH tossed the traps at me and said “bait them… now, right now!” Background infor for context “mousetraps” have been on his shopping lists since early February and he finally picked them up last trip. We then lost them in the trailer, found them, lost them again, dug them out then I had my little face to face with the wee beasite and haven’t set them the last two nights. Apparently running over DH’s foot tonight was the last straw for this rodent… he was not happy at all. So between the loud chewing noises and now this final trespass, the peanut butter has been placed and the traps set. Goodbye little stove mouse. We hope.

Chicken tax… there’s some legs? Does that work? I’m all out of pictures again.

Edit to add: poor guy jumped up and actually squealed… 😂
 
That's so sad.

This is why here in Ontario you have to have a pesticide license to use real pesticides. And esp those second generation ones which I think are unnecessary. But I still don't understand why they allowed the use of them outside buildings for vermin outside where they can wander around outside and be easy prey.

I say keep the use inside where the vermin reside, once they r inside they don't leave - they have good and body holes they stay put and don't leave. You need to understand mouse rat behaviour I say, and it ticks me off when I see mouse rat bait stations out side businesses and barns. It's supposed to stop them entering. But all it does is present a situation where they can be eaten by other predators 😞

I don't mind the smelly dead odour in the barn walls (ewwwww!) I know at least they are not outside anywhere they can be eaten, and it doesn't last long.

I want my chickens and horses safe. I don't want soiled feed or chewed on wiring, or my old mare coughing up a lung from mouse rat urine on her hay. My hay is crawling with mice eating the hay, I see them crawling on the hay! And I cams afford to waste the hay so what can I do?
Don’t forget bot flies… rodents are prime carriers. Way worse than the rodents, awful things… I just can’t deal with those.
 
Do you have a machine for dry ice. I don't have a clue
You generally have to special order it by the block, it’s often used in shipping seafood to grocery stores, we used to play with it when they would get something brought in in it… makes cool fog at room temperature and if you put water on it. Ah the things we wasted our time with on slow nights in The grocery store…
