[RC] [Guest] Rats and Hay Sheds - Ridecamp Moderator
Mary Abbott mabbottwizwire.com
Thank you everybody for your posts with hay shed construction tips. There
was one aspect of our debate about putting in a wooden floor or not--and I
know this sounds terrible, but its RATS! Right now, I have a small three
sided wooden shed (yes, metal posts would be better) with pallets beneath
the hay. Seems to be a great breeding ground for rats. I figure, though,
they would just do the same under a wooden floor. (I'm sure they'd find
some way to get under there, don't you think?) At least we could pull the
pallets out for a good cleaning every now and then. Anyone have any
pointers for the rat problem? They're so big they scare my cat away. I
just picked up an adult Jack Russel Terrier, though. (He's a kick!) Once
he gets settled in, I am planning to turn him lose on them. But I can't
keep him in the hay shed all the time...
Any thoughts on the RAT situation? Thanks again!
