Whats the best way to get rid of rats in a barn feedroom? I always do
my best to keep the feed put away, but there is always a few pieces
spilled. I cant use poison since I have cats. I also have horses in
the barn and I know rodents tend to carry feed as well as poison. So,
poison is NOT an option. The cats keep the mice under control, but
putting cats in that feed room, even keeping them hungry, and they
still dont get rid of the rats. I've tried snap traps, they work on
mice, but not rats. Dogs, such as a rat terrier are not an option
either. None of us like dogs, and we dont need dogs hurting our cats.
That says what we cant use, or what dont work. What can we use that
is safe for our cats and horses, yet will get rid of these rats. I am
deadly afraid of them, and I have seen them and hear them squeek in
the feed room behind our dead freezer chest where we store our feed.
They got to go. I am deadly afraid to even go in that room lately.

There are some good ideas here, also consider using your .22 to pop
them with. I load mine with 22 CB shorts from Winchester, they are
quiet but powerful.-Jitney
