In a move of fluffy feathered kindness my missus has almost filled a small tree in our back garden with nut/seed/fat ball etc dispensers and over period of two months we have attracted a wide range of birds and this week one or two (that I have seen) tree climbing rats 😐
The two sightings look to be different sized rats, one is very big and they are fast and agile buggers.
These rats are going to have to go – yes I know we need to rid the tree of all the bird feeders and we are in the process of doing that but I don’t fancy rats being around us and I really dont fancy Leptospirosis (Weils disease).
Any thoughts on rat traps or other ways of killing the rats off,we don’t have a dog or cat and neither do our neighbours.
