About killing rats QnA
| >Post pics
No. Never.
| With that said and done, feel free to ask me anything. I'll be sure to answer any of your concerns.
I'd like to ask for advice for eliminating rats efficiently. It doesn't help that buildings around my neighborhood are abandoned, so rats breed like crazy over there. The best I can do is to just minimize their numbers on my yard.
| I've tried various poisons but I feel like they're just appetizer for them. Physical traps seem to just work.
| >They just live there and don't bother you, do they?
Lol, no. They are trying to feast on any seeds left outdoors by the chickens. They also ruin my garden alongside moles and ants, forcing me to harvest veggies on the balcony like I'm living in some city flat.
Some bigger rat attacked and killed a duck that stayed outside for the night.
| Last year they managed to kill over 50 pigeons that live upstairs in the barn. Wild rats are just pests and need to be controlled.
| idc about rat-infested-homes tbc
| That’s terrible g/u/rl keep it up.
| >she lives on a farm
| have you even attempted to implement the recommendations given to you in the past rat killing threads
| get three of those rat killing dogs and let them run amok
alternitvely fill your houses walls with ungodly amounts of tannerite and when you hear them skitter and skammer you blow that shit sky high
| Yeah I bet some barn cats actually would be a really good idea. I think that was kinda the solution in the olden days. Cruel though :<
| >>1050685 yeah, but it doesn't stop
>>1050687 dogs won't do much when rats hide underground plus dogs like that were always after my chickens and ducks.
>>1050690 cats can be good for mice, but the rats are almost as big as a cat.
| What about the ferrets? I heard they are killing rats because it is fun.
| In any case, good luck. Slay them all.

You should probably look for something useful in scholarly publications or use some keywords from them. I’m sorry I get really exhausted reading or I’d look myself g/u/rl.

Oooh Google for rat control farm looks promising. Maybe skim the above first? You should google it too maybe!?
Gl g/u/rl
| are you single?
| >Some bigger rat attacked and killed a duck that stayed outside for the night
Wow, that's a hardcore rat for sure, you're dealing with BEASTS there
I wish you good luck g/u/rl, maybe I suggest trying to reach and contact the local authorities and explain them your situation with those ruined houses that the rats are using as breeding grounds
Get some permits and gas the fuck out of those houses
| >>1050753 unsure.
>>1050773 already did. It's not in the city and it's on private land so nothing can be done.
| if the city wont help and if the owners of the abandoned houses wont take responsibility then it's up to you.
you either continue to suffer like you are now, or you take matters into your own hands and gas/burn a few worthless houses
| Do you have any cats?

| Probably FAQ before you can ask me anything
>Why do this?
I live on a farm and I'm being overwhelmed by rats. Every night I head out, I see at least 10 running amock. They don't seem to stop on growing.
>Why make these thread
Attention seeking maybe? Dunno. If you g/u/rls want me to stop making shit threads about rat's death then I'll stop, simple as that.
Note that these are Wild rats, not your pet rats. They will bite you and infect you. It's just how they are.
