Garden experts suggest that “moving things around” in your garden might be the key! π Rats are naturally wary of change. By rearranging objects and placing obstacles in their usual pathways, you can make your garden an unwelcoming place for them. Think of it as a little magical garden shuffle that keeps rats on their toes! π©π
Don’t forget about your compost bin either. Make it less enticing by avoiding meat, dairy, or cooked food scraps. Keep it nice and moist with plenty of green and brown organic materials. π§πΏ Adding chicken wire around the base can also be a clever way to stop them from sneaking in. ππ
Regularly turning your compost heap helps too, but be mindfulβother wildlife may call it home! If rats have already settled in, avoid using the compost on edible crops. π«π₯π±
So, embrace a little garden chaos and turn your outdoor space into a rat-free haven this autumn! π Letβs make gardening a joy, not a battle! π§βπΎπͺ
