Keep Rats Out of Your Garden with a Simple Task

Rats will stay out of your garden if you do a simple task in summer.

When it gets hot, people like to be outside, but first, check for rats. Rats have babies in the summer and young rats look for new homes.

Young rats like dark places like sheds or hedges, so send them away now. You can use natural things like peppermint oil, but it can be a lot of work.

You might find young rats in hidden areas of your garden in summer.

Using poison is not a good idea because it can hurt birds and squirrels.

Helen from GrowVeg found a simple way to keep rats out of her garden and it has worked.

You don't need to buy expensive things to keep rats away, just move your bin to a place you walk by often.

Helen said, 'Rats don't like it when things are moved around. Hit the bin with a stick when you walk by and rats will stay away.'

In the summer, bins and compost piles smell bad and attract rats.

Rats like to live near bins if they are in a quiet spot.

Rats like food, but they like to nest in quiet places because they are afraid of people.

Keep your bins in open areas, not near hedges or walls, because rats like to hide.

The best place for your bin is near a door or path that people use a lot.

Just walk by your bin often or hit it with a stick to keep rats away.

Moving your bin and hitting it is a simple way to keep rats away all summer.

Remember, rotten food attracts rats, so keep it out of your outside bins.

Don't put meat, fish, or eggs in your outside bins and only put them out on collection day to keep rats away.
