How Did You Deal with Rats Around Your Poultry?

[GreenThumbed]

Hi everyone,

I’m dealing with an unwelcome rat problem in my garden, and it’s been quite the challenge! Whether it’s nibbling on plants, stealing poultry feed, or finding nests in hidden corners, these pests seem to have a knack for causing trouble.

If you've ever dealt with rats in your garden or around your poultry, I’d love to hear your story. What were the first signs that tipped you off, chewed plants, droppings, or something else? How did you finally tackle the issue? Did you use traps, poison, natural deterrents, or some clever DIY solution?

How do you keep them from coming back once they’re gone? Any tried-and-true methods or unexpected lessons learned would be so helpful!

To keep rats away, try putting away food at night and cleaning up any crumbs or spills.

Hi there,

You can also use peppermint oil. It smells nice to us but rats hate it!
Put a few drops on cotton balls and place them where you see rats.

Hope this helps.
