Super Rats!

[Logman]

Started brewing today and noticed some plastic flakes near a 25 litre cube I keep specialty grain in. Take a closer look and WTF a rat has gone through the base of the cube....on the cube next to it he's tried to eat through the handle . Have used these for 10 years and have never seen it.

Well its not pigeons, when I mill my grain if I leave the door open even for 5 minutes I come back and there is a pigeon in there. Like they have got a sixth sense.
I wonder how the rat knew there was grain in the cube.

I have had rats or mice chew right around the lid of a 20lt plastic pale. Lid came completely off. I now store my grain in gal steal garbage tins. Spec grains in a old non working fridge.

So I toss the cube...go in this morning and it's chewed through this one full of sodium perc ! Time for some bait.

Time for some bait.

Last time I used bait the blue-tongue lizards ate the baited mice. Lost all my blue-tongues.

Roban or Racumin reduce this - Talon and similar are bad for secondary kill
