No, really. RATS!! I've been battling rats for some time now. The boy and I were out today with the pellet guns shooting at them but they are pretty quick and pretty brazen to be out and about in the daylight like this. We've been trying many things to kill them. I have the traditional spring traps out now with peanut butter on them. I used the sticky ones for a while with some success but it has been gettting real cold out and they lose their stickiness. plus it seems they may be onto us with the sticky traps as I haven't caught any on them for over a month. It's been a awhile since I caught one on the spring traps but I still have them out.
Another thing I been doing is at night when the ducks and chickens are put away we leave a scratch/ rat poison mix out on the ground hoping they come and munch on it and die.
Anyone have any other ideas what I can do to reduce these nasty creatures to nothing or at least a little. I believe they are coming from the field across the RR tracks and the neighbors fields. Any other ideas?
