June 27th - Rats!

I spent a big chunk of the morning on the roof again, looking for rat doors.
I found two, one I probably missed on my last sweep and one that looked freshly made.
I stopped them both up with my handy steel mesh, the staple gun and some roofing nails.
I hope this does it. When I was done I was hot, tired and my attitude sucked but Cathi was
tolerant and I cooled of in both body and mind with a shower and some breakfast.
The next step we need to take is to cut back some trees and bushes that give the rats access to our roof.
That should cover it.

Oh how I sympathise - we get them here all the time but not in the house. They make their nests under the animal houses (hens and rabbits) - when we notice a new one we block all the holes except one and out a hosepipe down the remaining one....crude but it works!
