Alright... I have a problem. My entire neighborhood has rats. Everywhere. OK I live in the sticks so it's hardly a neighborhood... But still. About a mile down the road is the town's old fairgrounds, which then turned into a poorly kept racetrack. Lately the racetrack has been cleaned up and the resident rodents have moved on out... To the farms in the area. So they've decided my pigs and poultry are fantastic miracle workers who spill grain everywhere. They don't bother the goats, they eat all their grain within about 30 seconds lol!
My husband has been shooting them, which works but slowly. Traps havent worked. I'm afraid to use poison with our animals...
What do I do? How do you deal with rodents? I'm allergic to cats so that's not going to work. Help!
