They arent huge rats, so, those large rat traps arent working. I did the whole trap..thing, where you leave it unset for awhile, then set it, so they can get caught. Aint working, they get the stuff before the trap snaps. Ive set up sticky traps as well, one hasnt gotten anything yet, the other, the stupid dog in the back got to...causing dirt to fall all over it.
Anyway, I want to avoid commercial poisons, since that can end up killing other animals, besides the rat. So, short of doing that, as its my last resort. What else can I do? What foods are horribly poisonous to rats? Or anything poisonous to them? Again, the poison is my last resort. So, if other things don't work..:\ Ill have to go with this option..
And..how effective is coca cola to rats? ..I keep reading its a good form to get rid of them since they cant burp, but..thats kind of hard to believe.
Yea, I wouldnt do this if the rats were just ..there, and doing nothing, but they ARE, and I don't want a repeat of months ago, and find one of my doves dead from a rat.
Oh, yea, the backyard is pretty open. Theres an outside cage, which doesnt have any crevice a rat can sleep in. Though there is a blue plastic rolled up tarp that smells of rat piss, and a metal chiminey thing that was taken out from the one we had inside. They are VERY likely comin from the neighbors house, going across a wooden fence, and up to here. Since heres a cement wall between our house and theirs.
