Rats under coop & run

[Al Gerhart]

Got it, so paying twice as much, having to leave it open for a few weeks during training, and having dozens of negative reviews is something the OP doesn't need to know?

No comment, I don't want to argue about it, I am more interested in helping the OP.

Psst Weeg,
AI sells his own brand of treadle feeder.
That may shed some light on his posts for you.

There's rules against that.....

That is fine, if he wants to show us though is that not allowed? I would love to see his brand! He doesn't have to advertise it or anything! No biggie if that is against the rules or anything!

I recommend the Ratinator live trap. I have trapped and killed over 16 rats in the last few weeks. Put it on a piece of plywood or they will dig underneath and eat the food in the trap. Use fresh sardines each night (this is the biggest tip for trapping them). Don’t just watch the guys review on YouTube, he said it didn’t work. My miniature dachshund who killed each rat would beg to differ

This will not fix your problem, but it will help you while you get the right setup going for feed. Aluminum cans to store food will help as well.

YES! I love that trap! Same here! I got 10 rats a day with an infestation! That trap is really good!

I definitely suggest this trap to get the numbers down pretty quick.

We bought all of the traps that the store had one day. 6 different kinds! The ONLY one that worked was the Ratinator. The only problem I had was doing something with the rats after they were trapped. Thank you weenie for making it easier!

I have, and love my Ratproof Feeder. We did not have a rat problem, but a chipmunk problem. I prefer the non guillotine style of @Al Gerhart 's design. I do remove the feeder each evening, so it does not stay out overnight (no need to entice bears...)
