I have a shed at the bottom of the garden which keep getting rats living underneath. It wasnt built on a concrete base so they just dig under. I keep blocking the holes but they just start another on. I know there is a gap under they so i was wondering if i sprayed under it with sump oil do you thing that would stop them or could anybody surgest something else i could use.

Set fire to the shed...they don't like that....they don't like it at all.

No local cats around? Our garden is very rodent free thanks to Max Cat!

I wouldn't want to pour used oil into my own garden.

Rat poison? Hideous stuff but then rats are pretty hideous.

When the OH 's uncle died his shed had the same problem. It had actually sunk on one corner due to the extensive rat works. The shed was full of them too. Horrible.

Cats are always alseep all overweight round here. Using rat poison but not working.

 If you haven't got a jack Russell, and fire is out of the question then, First you need to find the runs, then put traps, use peanut butter,. and continually, check and dispose of the bodies, also there is obviously a food supply, somewere close, get rid of that, do you have pets(rabbits or a like),is a neighbor feeding the birds, all needs to be looked at, rats only appear when there is food and shelter.

Yes following on from pest control putting poison down in all correct places no food around. But lots of waste land tree bushes etc. Thats why i asked the question is they anything i can spray under the shed.

[Sir Tigger KC]

You could try flooding them out with a hosepipe.
