Mk 4 Fenn in a tunnel...........(along the shed side) will account for most of them after a short while. Leave it in position to mop up any newcommers to the area.

as previously said get a fenn inside a length of pipe. but try sticking it along the top of the garden parallel with the fence, close to the shed. i dont think you should have it along side the shed because ratty has already reached home/safety. get it a bit away and he will like this extra cover on his comuting to and fro. THEY LOVE PIPES

. i have two pipes(8inch diam & 10 ft long) near my silage pit, traps set all year, they constantly catch.

good luck
