Rats will eat anything organic and they come in from the fields during the winter. A cat or terrier is worth it's weight in gold. Good luck.

Glad you enjoy the blog. Thanks. <br /><br />Sunnybrook Farm, sooo glad that you do poison as well. Might have a go at traps again, and will remember your peanut butter bait advice. Cheese just didn't seem to do it last time we tried traps!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-87082890860122362642014-10-28T11:12:12.500+01:002014-10-28T11:12:12.500+01:00I just put out poison yesterday, I will set traps ...I just put out poison yesterday, I will set traps as well, peanut butter is good bait.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-20265963214331874702014-10-28T09:12:49.533+01:002014-10-28T09:12:49.533+01:00You need some cats, Vera.

I send Fido crazy making rat "hissing" sounds and shouting "rats". Then she jumps into the barn looking for them. I always enjoy reading your blog.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.com
