the prob is we have four dog runs in our garden its a good size garden but there has been like a new housing estate built on the other side of are fence the building has been going on for a few years now and we have had mice before, but they have recently started digging on a new place and we even had 5 badgers walking up the lane together and foxes going by our window :s but anyways i have a car up here and my dad was teaching me round the garden n up n down the lane in it so we put the dogs in and troy are german Shepard didnt eat all his food he usually eats it later so when i drove up and looked over at his kennel ( the one he uses when hes on night patrol ha) there was a big rat going over into his food bowl... so we cant use poisons or traps as the dogs would end up eating the poison or getting trapped :s

http://www.ratandmousepestcontrol.co.uk/details.asp?ID=31 invest in a rat bait box then, rats can get in for the poison but pets can't. Or get a smoker and bolt them to the terriers

what if say one of my dogs kills or finds a dead rat thats ate the poison will it harm my dog ?

there is always the risk of secondary poisoning, it might be an idea to place traps in some tunnels made out of wood. 2 sides and a roof is all that is needed, just make sure that the sides are big enough for the trap to spring shut

Its common sense to do the sides like that. I dont think anyone would make that mistake lol. put some pics up BEARINATOR of your traps and catches. any methods successful one I mean. ie food bait and posistion of the traps. oh and things that dont work. maybe Ian could make this a Sticky. Seems Bear is like a book ha ha ha. Always full of advice like Frain and Plumber.

You stick some pics up then as I'm only trying to help the young lad out and I do have experience of trapping unlike you
