Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: groundhog holes in alpaca field

 

What are people doing/using to control brown rats? We have a few rats that are tunneling in under the barn which has a gravel floor, pushing up the rubber stall mats, and then burrowing big holes under the mats. We have set up Havahart traps but the rats are outsmarting us thus far!

We keep our grain in covered metal cans and sweep the grain room clean every day. We have a small herd of alpacas, llamas, and goats (for a total of 6).  I rarely see the rats unless I chance to see them scurrying into their hole.

Thanks in advance.

They make smoke bombs you drop down the hole and cover it up and it kills the rodent effectively. You do not want ground hogs ruining your pasture or causing injury. Your local farm supply should have just what you need.
