I use metal cans that the rats can't get in. And, I no longer use feeders that leave feed out all night. I feed the chickens twice a day and make sure that I don't put out more than they'll clean up before dark.
I haven't had a cat in years - and the last one I had was NOT a mouser/ratter, lol. I put that cat into a barrel one time that had a mouse in it and the cat jumped out, lol.
There are ways to put poison out that other critters can't access...I think it involves putting it deep into a pipe or something...would have to google it to jog my memory. But, I use poison as a last resort. My dog Gracie gets to go to the barn if I start seeing rodents out there.
Bay has good advice.
