Getting Rid of Rats

Go to a farm supply store and get some 'Ramik' bars. The rats will eat them and they will dehydrate and die. When you find them dead, they are flat as pancakes and don't blow up like they do with D'Con.

We put moth balls under the house and any building we have on our property and scatter them around the yard. The outside buildings also get some put inside. It deters even snakes from getting into our yard, no more bugs or mice in the house!

My grandmother used peppermint plants to keep rodents out of her farmhouse. I planted peppermint around our house -- no rodents. I would recommend buying the peppermint from a pharmacy used for cooking and flavoring, mixing it in a spray bottle and spraying it around the yard etc. It shouldn't bother dogs or cats.

I will tell you what my dad would do (cause he has done it), let all your friends know you are on the look out for a black snake. Catch the black snake and put him under the shed. It won't bother the dogs, it will eat all the rats and when the food is gone he will leave to look for more food. While he is down there he will eat any snakes that wander in too. Black snakes are nature's natural exterminators.

Hi there I use to work for the City OF CALGARY and we would use gofer bombs lite the end of the bomb and throw it into their hole and that should take care of the all.

Go to your local hardware store and get a couple humane traps. Once you catch the rats, you can drive them to the nearest woods and release them.
