A good air rifle with a night scope and a watchman who can shoot

probably not to practicable, but there are guys in GB who de-infest
ag buildings of rats and pigeons using this method. <br>

They're pretty smart so after a while they won't show up.<br>

<div>My own suggestions are put wire wool in the briquettes a
small amount, as I know the rats will not try to get through
that if, used to plug a hole in the hidden corners of the house.
other suggestion hanging them on a wire ( as we saw in Huehe /
Sta Eulalia or changing the blend to something rats do not like
to eat, which is either neutral or still combustible and in
either case does not emit noxious smoke or gasses at elevated
temperature. These are just my ideas.I have not ever tested them
myself. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for anybody with similar experience, what was/is your
solution?

<div>Dear Richard,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are having some problems here. Rats are eating
our eco-leñas. We are figuring what to do. Rats are
always so tricky to handle. Have you heard of clever
solutions world wide?</div>
