Rats!
I am trying to help a friend with a rat problem at his S&B, where I am visiting.
I got rid of their food supply, but the rats are still living in the crawlspace under the house. He has put poison under there, but some of the rats are too smart.
The openings where they get in and out are foundation vents with missing screens. A pet or small child could get in, and eat the poison. I want to replace the screens -- but that will trap the rats under the house. They will cause more damage trying to get out.
Any ideas on how I can get the rats out, first?
I read online that ultrasonic emitters don't work and smoke bombs can start fires. I suppose I could leave them one smaller hole, too small for anything else to get through, but that is not really a satisfactory solution.
