Following on from my previous post about a suspicious hole in our flowerbed near the deck - we caught two rats in our garden this weekend. More traps have been set and we're waiting to see what happens.
They are not shy rats - one sat merrily on the lawn near us looking around enjoying the sunshine today. And they were BIG.
Should we expect to find more or could it just be two?
Since we have very small kids playing out there all the time, should we disinfect the deck etc or is washing it with the hose enough? Should we keep the kids in until we're sure rats are gone?
Also, we have an InSinkerator - could they be getting at the food that goes down this by any chance?
Its great timing - just when we want to start using the garden
