At least squirrels work in daylight, such that it is easily observed if they\u2019re chewing and stealing your produce. But rats! Nocturnal, sneaky, fecund, voracious. How to protect your garden fruits and vegetables from them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no rats doing damage among my vegetables or fruit trees these days because I have skilled hunter cats that spend all night patrolling the yard. So that\u2019s my first recommended line of defense, if that is an option in your situation. (See my post, \u201cCats: garden defenders.\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
“Did I hear a rat?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But there have been times when I did not have such helpful cats and I had to fight rats more directly. At those times, I took a three-pronged approach: kill, reduce hospitality and habitat, and protect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One, I killed rats using the classic Victor snap traps. I used cashew nuts as bait, but I\u2019ve heard of others using almonds with success. It seems helpful to scratch the nut or break it in half before you attach it to the trap so that it is aromatic. That\u2019s what I always did, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
My old Victor rat trap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reduce hospitality and habitat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two, I made sure not to provide food for the rats in the form of leftover pet food or chicken feed or open compost piles or fallen fruit left on the ground under trees. All such attractive foods must be cleaned up and sealed in buckets, or enclosed otherwise, especially overnight. Be not hospitable to those rodents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I reduced habitat and hiding places for rats. Thick vines such as passion fruit or fig or trumpet vine (distictis), or ivy or periwinkle, in a yard are invitations for rats to travel through and live in. Such vines must be thinned or even removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a trumpet vine on an arbor at my previous garden that was infested with rats until I thinned it severely. My mom had a fig vine covering a wall that was infested with rats; the population was more easily reduced with traps once the vine was cut way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rats like to travel under cover. They don\u2019t want to be on top of a wall or running across bare ground. They utilize bushes or other dense foliage and fences that are covered with plants whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three, I protected my fruit in various ways. There are cages you can make, and I\u2019ve been lucky enough to meet some genius gardeners who design and fabricate unique and effective versions out of plastic and metal for different crops. For example . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simpler version of this is to use a plastic clamshell over the tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also for tomatoes, if I hadn’t protected them, as soon as the color turned from green to light orange, I harvested and let them ripen in the kitchen. (Tomatoes ripen well and taste good as long as their picked after color “break”.) This saved some tomatoes but certainly not all, such as this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here’s a green tomato that was still eaten by rats when I didn’t have hunter cats.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At times when I didn\u2019t have hunter cats, I did all of the above but still had some losses to rats. I never eliminated their damage. But I did reduce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have additional experience? Help others get more food, and less rats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
