Hello Everyone
We are Bert and Cindy. We are a Christian family with 4 children and are living a simple life on just under 1 acre in South Western Ontario, Canada.
Bert works full time outside of the home and Cindy homeschools our 4 children.
Together we are homesteading our little piece of property by incorporating back to Eden permaculture gardening; raising smaller livestock from poultry/rabbits to KuneKune pigs and Nigerian Dwarf Goats for larger animals.
Our goal is to become more and more self-sufficient and give our family a secure place to call home.

New subs here from the Facebook group!! Nice to meet you :)

I found your video I will give it a try. I have and electronic trap but have yet to put it out. I saw rat 1 hr ago (saw prints in snow) and then it ran to its home now I know why all the soil was piled up where it didn't belong. It looked fatter than before,. I will try this before the problem gets worse. I am in an urban setting so this will not amuse the neighbours. Thanks from Toronto.

Minus the electric traps, I've gone through the same traps and concoctions you've tried, also with little to no results. I've resorted to pellet ratting, with great success, however it's time consuming. I'll definitely give this a try, thanks.

Thanks wonderful idea
-
Sounds like a great idea, necessity is the mother of all inventions.
-
Genius idea.. thank you for sharing
-
Such a great idea! I am so happy you have found a solution. I haven't had an issue with rats, but I have never seen so many mice before. Everyone here is saying the same thing. I am catching at least 8 per day. It's crazy. I am going to pressure wash my basement once it warms up again. It stinks. Ugh.

Great idea! π

Fast forward to 6.5 minutes and you will get to the point. Very cleaver idea but get to the point hahahaha

Similar to our Suicide bucket without water. With water, perilite, seeds sprinkled over the floating perilite and a gang plank. Boom, lots of rats. Caught 52 in two days First you have to make sure your chicken feed is secured at night so there is no competition with your bucket.

I have a question do you place the rat trap with gloves or not. And what else do you put in the buket something to eat ??? Please answer me quick , please
-
I would venture to say the scent has a lot to do with catching so many. We can set traps all day long in our feed room area and never catch a thing.
