I have rats in my garden, and I'm absolutely horrified!! I live in an apartment building and am fortunate to be on the ground level, which has allowed me to grow a beautiful little garden. But now these rats are ruining it! I tried rat poison once, and it helped a little but did not eliminate the problem. I can't try it this year because I now have a chihuahua who will eat absolutely anything. So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for getting rid of rats without poison? Has anyone had luck with predator urine? Please help, they're SO gross.

Thanks so much!

*shudder* I so hate rats. But I found them almost impossible to get rid of. My cats wouldn't kill them so what I ended up doing was putting a type of poison on pet store rat food in a locked bait station close to their burrows. The rats carried it back to their burrows and died there. I kept a close eye for any bodies so my cats and dogs couldnt' get ahold of the bodies because they would have died from that. A natural thing that might help is snakes....we have bull snakes here that eat mice and smaller rats and even baby rattlers!!! I know for some people, that cure is worse than the original problem. Others here might have much better ideas than this. But me, I am all for doing them in!!!!!

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!
