Whilst shooting is more fun, this approach is probably more efficient....

I put some cheap solar lights on the lawn under the bird feeder. We only get an occasional rat. We have a ground feeder. If it suddenly starts emptying overnight I know we have a visitor.

Hope you get Mr Ratty sorted sharpish.

I was thinking that earlier, Pauly.

Mel, We had a rat mopping up the seed from below the bird feeder, I bought two cheap rat traps and just baited them with seed, Got the little sod although the trap was so light it only gave the rat a glancing blow..

It was enough to knock the bugger out cold though and blood was coming down it's nose (It was in the middle of the day!) The edge of the sweeping brush finished the job whilst Ratty was out of it!!

Next time i'll stick some steel plate under the traps!!

I removed the loose seed feeders as the birds used to throw the stuff all over, No more rats!!
