Rat Run At Rear Of Garden

[jeromecorey 0]

I have had a rat run at the rear of my garden, suspect it goes from a shed in neighbor’s gardens one next door and one at rear of my garden. I have had the pest control out who put poison down on 3 occasions and it seems to have done the trick as I have not seen any for a while but next door has seen them in her garden.

If I was to concrete the back part of the garden in the area were the run was do you think it will solve the problem as I want to put raised beds for plants in there or am I waiting my time putting concrete down or should I just dig the area over & take pot luck

I can't undersatnd what your wanting to achieve,if your worried about disease,then spray area with disinfectant , don't matter what substrate you have there,I can guarantee rats will come back there later.

just put a catch alive trap or a figure of four deadfall on the run, and if and when the rats return you will know,

sorry guys i was gonna say set traps just off runs for rats if live trapping they get very nervous of new objects and wont approach for days. blind setting fenns will work well on runs if cover permits it, like tunnels ect

 

rats get nervous of new objects so give it time.

it's called neophobia what a lot of rats have, meaning a fear of new objects like you said
