Recently, I went outside to move some boxes that was on our deck. We can not burn anything right now due to the draught we are in. When I did, I heard a scratching noise. I move some boxes and all of a sudden 3 rats jump out and go over the side. Later, for some reason, I went in one of the sheds that chickens stay in. I kicked a plastic box. All of a sudden, rats were running everywhere. The next night, I grabbed a BB gun and tried to shoot some. I found it is hard to accomplish this in the dark. I did have a phone in one hand, but could not aim and shoot with one hand. I did get a lucky shot, but I think it only grazed or scared it. It still ran off. I did manage to catch one in a live trap, but that was luck. I have to wait a day or so for rat poison. If they stay, they will multiply. I can't have them getting into the food or even going after the chickens.
