[QUOTE="TechWise, post: 6947935, member: 11384"] We had a rat issue for years here. We've three collies that were all keen on killing them but it was just a hobby to them so they were never going to get on top of the problem. I also used to pop away at them with the airgun but they were so well fed that one twang from the gun and they would scarper for half an hour. I didn't have the patience to sit out all night to shoot a dozen rats. We got in a professional pest controllor who completely and utterly wiped them out in three months. We haven't seen one single rat anywhere on the farm for about three years now. He comes out quarterly to check and refill bait boxes, even though none appears to be taken. If there's a lot about, it may be worth paying someone to do the job professionally at least until you get on top of them. [/QUOTE]
