Rat problem

Hi, I've recently moved to an estate from a farm. Rats have never been a problem until now.We settled the girls in with a wide mesh skirt around the chicken run, rats literally cannot get in. They are still living under my shed, I've poisoned them lots, they cannot get to the corn. Any suggestions on how to control them? Thanks x

Defcon the rat poison if you haven't already tried that works good or live traps
Golden malrin works good it says fly baot on ot but it will kill rats to just put it on a honey bun and u find them dead about two foot from the baot sote.
Poison in really hard to get places, traps in easier areas and cats. Cats will destroy entire populations.

Hi, I completely understand your situation. Unfortunately, I've faced a similar problem. However, I wasn't lucky because I was advised to use poisoned baits instead of natural repellents. Now, it has been five days since I haven't heard any strange noises in my attic. However, I have a dead rat somewhere in my house and I'm afraid it will start to smell bad soon. I would like to know if anyone here can help me find a solution to my problem. :cry:
