[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7799114, member: 4505"] Is there any way you could 'hand feed' for a few days? I mean put feed in a trough first thing, just enough to last them so the calves clean up before dark? There's nothing like taking his groceries away to upset Mr Ronald. Also, maybe move the feeder before you put down traps. Ideally, you want to put traps down [I]before[/I] the rats arrive so you kill the scouts and they don't have a chance to lay 'safe trails' (as they do). Poultry were all fed by hand first thing here, so no rats and the feeders have gone out again. I will revert to hand feeding if they return. Of course, for this to be effective, all other sources of feed must be removed or secure. [/QUOTE]
