I have found a family of rats down in the barn. I know it is the barn but I really want them gone. We are about to start raising chickens and I cannot have the rats stealing chicks or feed out of there. Not to mention that the children could be bitten should they come across one while feeding the chickens. That would definitely not be good.
I have called the pest control service to come out and take care of this problem. They should be here by Friday and I hope that it wont take too much to deal with the rats. Under normal circumstances I would just put out rat poison and take care of it myself. However, with children and our pets running all over the place I cannot take the chance and require a professional to handle it. Sometimes you just have to get some help. I hope everyone has a great day.
