Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?

Rats have infested my barn! Is there any way to kill the rats (traps aren't workig) without endangering my pets?Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?Get a lot of cats and let them go king kong on themCan anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?
It's pretty hard to do. We had a similar problem with roof rats and used poison that was placed inside storm drains (during the summer dry season) that our cat and dogs could not fit into and we checked the bait reguarly. The cat would not bother a dead rat and our dogs are confined to another part of the yard where they could not get to a dead rat (or if they were out, they would be supervised). That was the only way we could use bait safely.



My only other suggestion is to get some barn cats on duty. Shelters are often looking for homes for feral mouser cats that have been spayed and neutered and given their vaccinations. You need to feed them and give them access to shelter in your barn, but they are not socialized with humans - but this is a good way to help cats that can't find homes as pets and this is the best life they can hope for.Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?Live traps. That way, the rats can get in but because they are small traps, the other animals cant get in, and theres no danger of animals getting their feet caught in the death traps. Most stores that carry rat traps have humane live traps too.Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?
You live in the UK? Anywhere around Wiltshire? My dogs will come and party - they are awesome ratters.... never had to train them, or persuade them, just incredible instinct. Must be the most humane way I've ever seen a rat killed - certainly the fastest.Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?Traps....but then you have to deal with disposing of them.



next....a herd of cats and be sure they are neutered or you will have a really big herd of cats.



No poison is free from problems.
have you tried coating the bait on your traps with peanut butter. rats know the smell of humans and peanut butter is to pungent for them.Can anyone tell me a safe way to kill rats, without endangering pets?
