rat cake. get a good handful of rat poison..a tin of sardines and some dark chocolate.melt chocolate.[seems a waste but..] mix sardines and oil.but save some oil. mix with rat poison and let it set.put set 'cake' in a waste pipe by rat runs and drip sardine oil to the pipe.rats will eventually investagate it and they cant resist it .add some bird seed as well they love it..use an old pan specially for mixing this..

Hopefully no snow here. Ratcakes sound a good idea. They don't seem to like the chocolate I've put as bait - maybe they're posh rats and don't like asda value chocs

I saw some snowdrops today! That was enough to cheer me up

Just a note about the rats and poisons, make sure any rat droppings found after the poison is put down are cleared up as soon as they are noticed, i lost a hen after she ate rat droppings from an poisoned rat.

Good Luck
