Strategies to keep rats off tomatoes
#3
The only thing the rats seem to bother are our avocados.
They will climb the trees and gnaw on the fruit.
They have never bothered our tomato plantings.

I keep 2 poison bait boxes, one near the back edge our property next to the compost bin and one by the avo trees.
They clean out the box by the compost bin rarely reaching the one by the avo trees.
When the back box is empty, I refill it and exchange it with the one by the avos.

We do have cats.
One of them is a very good hunter.
But, M'Lady feeds him too much, too often.
He only hunts for sport.
The other is little more than a lap cat.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
