Hey, here on PA there's 3 things we don't talk about...wheel bows, $!#@&glass, and commercial rat traps  ;D

Chief RID:
Clean up is the first step. There is a reason for the rats. Figure out the food source and eliminate it. Start with pet food. This time of year if you plant a lot of annuals, especially if you have some that reseed often, those seeds could be the source. If you grow potatoes or other root vegetables then that could be your source.

Eric Krewson:
Put you a target ot at 15ft, take a shot and see how high you hit then shoot that much lower on your shot at a rat.

I watched a couple more of the mink hunting rats videos. I really think you should get a mink and train it.lol. Pretty effective at getting them out of their holes. I'm sure it wouldn't take long for any that did survive the assault to move to safer territory.

Just gotta look up a YouTube video I watched though. I forget the kids name and haven't watched it in years but something like mink that Hunts rats. The kid trained a mink to hunt rats and Muskrats. It's very entertaining. They have a video of the mink and a couple small dogs if I remember correctly. A small rabbit coup is loaded with rats. They get something like thirty rats. Pretty cool. Kid is crazy. Has a video about how he trained and picked him out. He went to a mink farm and told the owner he wanted the meanest, nastiest buck mink the guy had.

PS it's worth a look for the entertainment. I might have to watch it again. Might even have some new ones

I know someone that has met him. The guy is strange, to say the least, very difficult to get along with.  He has had some luck with training mink, but he returns ten or more mink to fur farms as untrainable for every one he trains.

If you wanna see some rats getting whacked, check out Jordan Reed and the Mongrel Hoard. He is a professional ratter, emphasis on professional.  His crew often racks up triple digit scores on rats.
