How do you get rid of rats on your yard?

1 Answer

Answer :

Look everywhere around to see why they may be there in the area. An exterminator may be worth the money. There are all kinds of traps. even throw away ones that poison the rat inside and you then dispose of the whole thing. that is good if you have pets. I think that may not really fix the whole problem becasue the rats will keep coming if a neighbor is harboring the varmits somehow. One thing that does work if they are available for rats ( they work for gophers) electric sound wave emitters. It just chases them away. Hope this is some help.
