I have chickens, so I have chicken feed, so I have rats. Not near as many as I would have thought, tho I found out why.

I went out in my barn one evening after dark and there was a huge owl in there, with a McRat in his little tootsies. Gorgeous bird, that.

If you think rodents are destructive, you should see the havoc wrung by primates!

If I were in your shoes, I'll just do it myself. There are a lot of videos in youtube. It's just simple.

Seriously don't bother. You'll be wasting money and time. You want to stop rats put out rat trap or poison. Or get a few outdoor cats
