Good morning. :frowHave some moving to do today. Bringing in another dryer. Switching out bedrooms. That will be a job. Glad our son and hubs is doing the big lifting. Daughter in law will be helping. Have a great day. Stay safe in travels if you're going out and about.

those little gnats sure are powerful and my bug sprayed hat didn't help a bit

Too bad you couldn’t get a picture of your bug.
 
:sick:sick:sick

Just saw a RAT behind the chicken run!!! A RAT! We have never had rats before!! We have a major chipmunk problem this year, yes, but never RATS!! :sick:sick

We are going to have to do something about this! The food is inside the coop too, there isn’t even anything in the run or anything, unless maybe he is somehow squeezing into the coop? There is a little gap between the door and the frame/base where I guess he could be getting in? I didn’t think it was very big but :confused:

We are going to have to seal up that gap and also I found quite a large hole yesterday under one of the storage bins next to the coop. Thought it was a chipmunk hole but now thinking must be rats. We will have to move that storage container and/or fill in the hole I guess. Also might need to get some traps or something? And maybe move the other storage container too.

We have a plastic Rubbermaid shed/bin/whatever?? It’s large/long but low anyway, that’s next the coop which the hole is under but could probably get rid of it. Mostly filled with wayyyy too many bowls/feed dishes/waterers, etc. lol could probably get rid of most and get rid of the bin! Then we have a plastic Rubbermaid shed sitting on a pallet also next to the coop. Well both are technically behind it I guess.

The shed we have had chipmunks and stuff get in, it’s kinda crappy and not sealed well/big gaps and they chew through too.

But we have the feed in strong super thick plastic bins so they don’t get that but I used to sometimes have seed bags a while and they got in the bags but took those away as soon as I found out.

There is no food available now so idk why they’re hanging out. They must be getting in or maybe eating the scratch we’ve been tossing in the run??? Maybe no more scratch or at least less so they can clean it all up??? And maybe taking the food inside at night? I don’t think they can get to it but you never know haha
