How to Prevent and Control RATS in Your Garden 🐀 😱 

rats are well and good, but what about.... Deer, Raccoons, Foxes, Turkeys and the occasional wild dog?

OH also bunnies

That A24 trap kit is $200!!!!! I am going to try the Victor electronic rat trap again for $50. Rats have already taken a bite out of my pineapples last year, I cant have them take a $200 bite out of my budget. Now, if they were in the house, that would be a different story

Buy a mesh cage trap and fine tune it. $25 . Wear gloves to keep your scent off the trap, also try spraying with almond essence. If you catch a friendly animal you can release it.

Good video about a really important subject. I wish you had covered the subject of poisoning because of the secondary danger it poses to our domestic animal friends. The trap is clever but pretty pricey for most suburban gardeners.

Yes! My aunt bought fillable teabags and put dried mint, rosemary and any other pungent scented herb and that helped with mice in campers and chipmunks around our property.

That actually does work peppermint the only sent they hate ☺️

This weekend, a friend mentioned that trick.

I have a different mint at every doorstep. Seems to be working. Mint under fruit trees...

Quit crying 😢

But they are effective. Place them properly to avoid birds. Easy when you are able to THINK Or would you prefer a touch of bubonic plague, or osteoperosis?

@@stevefowler3398 I don't think anything should die in such an inhumane way, including rodents or insects. Snap traps (or whatever they're called) are at least usually quick. When I've had to, I've live trapped mice and released in nearby parks: they didn't come back, and I didn't get the plague or anything else (the bubonic plague is easy to treat now with antibiotics). Just because they're small doesn't mean they don't suffer. Everyone can do what they like. but they should at least be aware of what they're doing. The people who caught all the hummingbirds never realized that the glue traps would attract them, or how horrible the result would be.

Glue traps works best for me so I’m sticking with that (no pun intended) 😆

@@stevefowler3398 Osteoporosis? How do rats cause loss of bone density?? lolololololololol

Glass or metal Best bets

And there is a hole in his house somewhere he needs to plug it w steel wool. That sucker was big

I also spray and mop my pantry with ammonia.

Doubly a good idea to limit weevil investigations.

The way to end rodents are: 1) find out and stop all ENTRY POINTS/holes so cannot get in; 2) use the world's best trap I design to kill, now with more than 350-400 successful track records, see many of my videos in your own eyes-will upload more if have time. 99% of traps/methods include A24 FAIL, they are only able to kill the dumb ones, not the smart ones, the smart ones HAVE EYES that CAN SEE THERE IS A SMALL Pin/metal TRIGGER MECHANISM INSIDE THE A24 compressed air trap so the SMART ONES WILL NOT RISK THEIR LIVES CLIMB UP and STICK THEIR HEADS INTO THE A24 TO TOUCH THE PINS TO TRIGGER IT, and also AS IN MY VIDEO SAID (I cannot say it out loud their name brand trap to avoid lawsuit so I said A24 trap, u know what I mean LOL), the smart ones ONCE SEE THE DUMB SIBLING'S DEAD BODY lying on the ground next to the A24 trap, they know it's a killing trap to AVOID SO THE FUTURE GENERATION RODENTS WILL NOT EAT FOOD FROM A24 thus making it fail lol!

That's the type of feed we get too. It keeps the squirrels from the feeder.

Wholeheartedly agree with this.

Lots of good advice!

Glue traps and anticoagulant poisons should not be legal to sell.

Are you spraying your plant with the peppermint?

@@jenicepye2997 I spray the mulch and the bed/container and then at night I spray the leaves of the plant to they don't get burnt during the day with the peppermint. As for the pepper spray, only the mulch and border/outside of the bed/container

So very thankful for the rat snakes here. Today my son and rescued a rat snake from some bird netting I had in my garden (all netting has now been removed!). Once it figured out we were trying to free it, it calmed down and I was able to get all of it cut off the body of the snake, who really seemed quite grateful afterwards, it just lay there letting us look at it (my family all love snakes), and then went back under my house. Rat snakes not only keep the rodent population down, but they also take care of venomous snakes. I live on 5.25 acres of mostly woods and a creek in Georgia.

I have resident 6' long black snakes and yet the rats remain. I told him of he doesnt hunt, he needs to leave. They stay in the same territory generally. Nothing like a red rat snake or grey rat snake

@@pinschrunner you want to keep that black snake around. They predate on rattlers and copperheads.

@@BonnieBlue2A we dont have copperheads and I have only seen one rattlesnake in 20 years. however the rattlesnake that I did see was being totally swallowed whole by a black snake

@@cheriekalel9578 Wow, that sounds like Heaven. I am in NC. My neighbor has a nursery, so there are pots, plants, greenhouses, etc. He let the back area return to nature, which I have no problem with, but the piles of brush and dead trees are the perfect haven for rodents. I guess on the plus side, they aren't living with me, lol, just using me as a restaurant. I have several rat snakes, and 1 drop dead gorgeous corn snake, that I see hiding in wait. Crazy how patient they can be. Thanks for your reply. I love happy endings. :)

I was traumatized to the point of being numb LOL

@@epicgardening I would be chasing with a shovel not a camera or cellphone!!!

I was amazed at how calm he was while filming as well. I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week after that!!! 😀😃 I'll never get rid of rats because my neighbor in the back has a bird feeder at the fence line. Endless food supply. 😞 They perfer the seeds over my garden so I guess that is a positive.

Man didn't he I would be freaking out smh

Honestly I heard exhaustion, as opposed to calm 🤣

oh i like that idea.. i normally make neem cake tea (using a 32 gallon plastic garbage can filled with water and add 2-3 tablespoons of neem cake per gallon of water for no more than a day or it will smell rotten. the neem cake tea will also kill fungus gnats)

Is neem harmful to caterpillars, butterflies, or hummingbirds?

Oh that's pretty cool!

But then they’ll poop in your garden and maybe others gardens which is not fun too

I take my cats' peed on litter and spread it around my raised beds. Works pretty well for rats and squirrels.

@@Gowaduv I use the biodegradable litters, like the pine pellet and corncob based varieties. I have to make sure to remove the solid waste, since it's not a good idea to compost that, but the used litter makes for great mulch for the reasons you described.

Ya don't replace one problem with another. Those cats can quickly become diseased if they are in contact with rats and the fleas that they carry

Mine’s named Benji; similarly adorable. Not a Westie; rather, he’s a mix who looks like a blond Cairn terrier. He has been known to walk past a bush, suddenly stick his head in, and emerge with a rat. One quick shake, and problem solved. The whole action is so fast, it takes my breath away because I really wasn’t prepared to have to deal with a rat, dead or alive!

I love this idea! Most people jump to the idea of a feral cat but they are basically a nuke to native wildlife. They kill birds and rare mammals indiscriminately. A small dog like a Yorkie on the other hand can’t hurt birds, won’t notice most moles or small natives, and I know first hand they’ll dig up and kill any rats that get in very effectively. Not to mention you can train a dog to target or to be called off quickly if they go after something you don’t want. They’ll also poo where you ask, and don’t carry toxoplasmosis like cats do. SOOOOO many wins there. A great option to consider

Mine is Rocco, a miniature Schnauzer. He can detect them and find them wherever they hide.

@@k9spot1 I'm a total dog person. Can't stand cats. Didn't know this about these breeds of Terriers you all are talking about. Great to know. Thanx! And, good luck!

A dachshund is another excellent ratter... I work for someone with a dachshund and NOTHING gets past her!!

Rats are ridiculously smart.

That's what I was thinking. I set out 5 snap traps and only ever caught ONE lol. You know the others told their friends... I have huge brown rats. They are bold. Hate them.

@@brittnyrv5087 Ya, you have to get pretty creative to win with traps usually, peppermint oil essential oils is a good deterrent though

@@brittnyrv5087 I used a five gallon bucket just over half full. Float dog food on top, enough to cover the water. Rats think the dog food is a firm surface and they end up drowning. If your rats are really big there are extra tall buckets you can get. I caught five over two nights. It’s good because you don’t have to handle them. Just a big hole, pour out the bucket and cover with dirt. You can always set up a little grave marker if you’re feeling bad about their demise.

@@Dbb27 will squirrels fall for this or do you only put the bucket out at night? (I don't love squirrels but I also don't want to kill them either)

@Tyron Spaulding. When i told an Aussie that they looked like rats, he said NO, those are mice, our rats are big as cats

@@pinschrunner he wasn't wrong!

LMAO true this haunts my dreams: www.news.com.au/technology/science/giant-rats-could-take-over-earth-in-the-future/news-story/a58de8a87821e5bb849e20b7ef8aa716. Capybaras are cool though.

And Afrikans...

You brought those vermin’s with you from Europe, you’re faults

Nice idea. I am impressed by this level of effort :)

Gaps in house. Stuff pcs of metal screen in. Then foam up. Hemophiliac rodents won’t chew it.

*Tip* if anything unintended gets stuck in a glue trap pour olive oil all over the stuck areas with time will come unstuck unharmed

I learnt the hard way..caught a bird but got him unglued

I have better results from glue traps.

My neighbor and I both have rat problem in our backyard gardens/flower beds. He decided to use poison and sure enough i lifted an old stone that had a dry hollow under it. Under there was a large snake vertebrae, full skin (not shed) and 6 dried snake eggs. I was furious. I use an air gun, but need to step up my game as they are becoming more aggressive as of recently. They are eating whole starter vegetable and award contest entering flowers. That’s why I am here to figure more tactics.

Glue traps are simply inhumane. Invest in quick and humane traps. I use the Goodnature A24. Very successful, durable, and quick. I know they’re expensive, but you only need a couple if you take other measures.

Keep up the good work. They will try to repopulate your area from the surrounding properties.

😂

@Kadri Press. How did you get rid of them?

@@pinschrunner I destroyed all their nesting places (under the deck, chicken coop, juniper bushes, cedar trees), removed food/water sources (chicken feed and water wasn’t left out for the night), and then trap trap trap. At night I went out with my Great Dane who is so clumsy and runs like Scooby Doo but he developed a great hate for rats and was awesome at chasing them out of their hiding places. She even hunted two rats down and killed them which was impressive. I have since noticed we have a lot of free range cats on our street so it looks like neighbours are fighting rats that way.

Catnip is in the mint family. Maybe just have catnip and it will bring all the neighborhood cats over to take care of the rodents (if they aren't too high).

@@kirstenolson776 Only if you want your cats to be high all the time 😜, at least the one who are affected by catnip (Some cats are indifferent to it).

@@DorianneSchwarz My cat is unaffected by it. He isn't indifferent to rodents though. He thinks they are toys but he does eventually kill them after he has brought them under the gate into our garden. I would rather he left them in whatever garden he found them. Twice in the past two years he has brought one in the house then let it go so he can chase it. Result, they hid and one was around for about 3 days and the next overnight.

My landlord won’t let us have a pet, plus my hubby and daughter are allergic to cats (I love them though!).

the rolling log is an easy one that u can diy, or buy.

@@nomanejane5766 The rolling log might work for mice, but it doesn't work for rats. Shawn Woods stated that in one of his videos, and I had first hand experience with that as well. Basically, rats are big enough that they can keep their back feet on the edge of the bucket for balance while stretching out over the rolling log to eat the bait off of the rolling log without falling into the bucket.

I recently moved onto acreage in the high desert where there are a lot of rats and mice (the Mesquite pods provide them with plenty of food). I watched a bunch of Shawn's videos so I could figure out what to use to knock down the rodent population. There are so many different types of traps and I wasn't sure what to try. Then I watched one of his videos called 'College Sorority Invaded by Mice' where he was called in to help get rid of the mice. Out of the hundreds or thousands of different types of traps available, what did he use? Snap traps! So I bought a 6 pack of Aegis rat bait stations and 6 Victor Power Kill Rat Traps. I've been baiting them with peanut butter and Nutella, and I've been catching about 1 rat per day. Unfortunately, the mice are too light to set off the Victor Power Kill Rat Traps, so they have been able to eat the bait out of the snap traps. So I just set out some Protecta Mouse Bait Stations that have old fashioned Victor mouse traps inside.

Haha

Wasn’t the rats, it’s was from the fleas the rats carry.

And the bacteria carried by the fleas.

We do have venomous snakes! He is probably further away from any canyon. My school is right next to a canyon and you are right. I was stacking weeds and after only ONE week of piling up, I began putting everything on a wheelbarrow only to find a Red Diamond rattle snake! Just chilling inside the pile - I almostttt grabbed it! Sooo yes San Diego People don't do this.

@@riskitallcrypto99 because we can easily test for covid to prove if it is or isn't.

@@riskitallcrypto99 1) Covid-19 presents different symptoms. 2) Covid-19 has a specific test. 3) Bacterial infections tend to be more persistent than viral infections, oftentimes requiring either antibiotics or (in cases with drug-resistant bacteria that resists everything) bacteriophage treatment. There's a lot of misinformation and politically-charged disinformation out there. Never get your health information from political sources.

Oh wow, glad you got treated in time and hope you're okay! Was it the plague?

Wow. I hope you’re fine. You need to test your pets too.

Please get checked for Lyme.

Huh? Glue traps harm raptors and other predators.

@@SnailHatan oh, absolutely, glue traps are horrific. All sorts of animals get stuck to them accidentally. I assumed people wouldn't count that as a recommended method since Kevin described it as inhumane, but good idea to be explicit.

Cats should be in a house at all times.

Flying rats = seagulls. Lol. Tree rats = squirrels. Those are my nemeses.

They're seriously so annoying

They eat right through cloth mesh

Try tulle from the fabric store and wrap that around your produce. Another gardening show I watch recommended tulle because they don't like getting their toenails caught in it. Just a thought.

Tulle as I learned from another gardening show works great as a deterrent for lots of different critters, I’ve used tulle with success against squirrels!

Clever idea with the plastic clamshells as a covering on the tomatoes.

Good tip, thanks!

Really?!?!? 😳😳🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🤨🤨🤨😋😋😋

@@tomdeschesne9391 yeah, apparently when they drink water the instant mash expands. It’s basically the same concept as poison but if another animal gets the rat they won’t get hurt because there is no poison. Rats have no gag reflex. Oh one thing though is be careful if you have chickens, it has the same effect on them as I’d does the rats, I’m not sure if it kills them but I wouldn’t want to find out

@@TheMonnxzeTV thanks!

not to mention the expense! $200 for a trap

My jack just caught one the other day.

Yep! Rat terriers and cats. Rats/mice freak out from the presence of cats.

but that can harm other animals like people's pets or baby opossums. Not good.

Sorry to sound dumb but how would you differentiate? Guessing voles are smaller. We have decking in our garden and rabbits in a hutch/run and saw a rat /vole in Broad day light looking around the hutch :(

@@Aph_bigest_fan voles are chubbier/chunkier in body shape their fur is dark brown, you can't see their ears, whereas for mice and rats you can. The last thing is the tail, voles have hairy/fluffy tail and it's much shorter than their body length but for mice and rats their tail is hairless and longer than their body length! Hopes that helps.

I think voles always stay near water? Am wrong?

So in the UK they gas your backyard chickens for your safety and fine you for killing a “protected” rodent. Brilliant!

Antechinus, a native rodent in Australia, look very similar to mice/rats too.

What kind of dogs do you have?

btw, the lid was closed, I was going to pee, looked at it and immediately closed. And I'm glad I looked, because usually, I lift the lid without looking and I just sit. Just fucking imagine, holy shit.

WHAT! Scary

Came up the pipes. Generally happens while one is sitting there. Don't worry too much about it.

@@CenturianCornelious We have two theories here. This one, because makes sense, or that it was inside the bathroom door and tried to find a way out, ended up climbing the toilet and fell in it (I know it's a little crazy, but it all happened last week and there was another rat, in this case, in my sister's room, that came out of a door, so I don't think I'm reaching too far hahah) The doors of my house are pretty weak and not solid, and rats are my grandma's nightmare. She's going crazy and is already making sure to have all the doors of the house changed 😂

@@Anzy.99 My uncle got bitten on the @ss that way lol

Steel wool is not that effective i have had them pull steel wool packings out of holes now if you spray it with capsaicin they wont touch it. you should also wear gloves when setting traps so they don’t smell like humans

Wow! I’d be out of my mind

Same problem, neighbours just laugh and are rude. I spent money and time creating a lovely garden, they moved in just over a year ago and decided on getting free range chickens (flying ones!) who get in our garden dropping their eggs and poop, their roaming dogs pooping too! No rats for years, now we are destroyed by them digging and eating as they travel about to the chicken food and eggs. Makes me really sad, once it was a peaceful oasis. Would love to get away but costs, involved in the UK now with rent is madness and out of the question. And low housing stock in the area. Pest control came and it just seems to have got worse! I will try the cayenne pepper and Irish soap…….

Bird feeder will just attract other pests

@@gailc3042 They were suggesting a Bird House for Owls - Owls Will expertly handle a rodent problem!

We have owls that circulate through our property and neighbors. I'm sure they get some of the rodent population. But, most of rats live and tunnel underground.

Typical bird feeders for birds that eat seeds will attract those birds’ predators like owls and hawks

Around here, supplying a high perch or 2 for owls helps them to hunt. They hunt silently, you won't hear them if they're on the job. A tall pole is good, as long as there's a good place for their feet. The better the view, the better it works.
