Hi,
We have found that planting alot of Catnip (Nepeta Cateraria) around the
compound attracts cats - ergo rats learn THAT and tend to stay away. You also
will be producing your own biomass as it grows rather vigorously.

Ronald,
Cute but you know what happens to a briquette when you hit it with an air
rifle…Much less the implications o the project in a post war setting such s
northern Guatemala…

A good air rifle with a night scope and a watchman who can shoot will do

probably not to practicable, but there are guys in GB who de-infest ag
buildings of rats and pigeons using this method.
They're pretty smart so after a while they won't show up.

Hi all,
My own suggestions are put wire wool in the briquettes a small amount, as I
know the rats will not try to get through that if, used to plug a hole in the
hidden corners of the house. other suggestion hanging them on a wire ( as we
saw in Huehe / Sta Eulalia or changing the blend to something rats do not like
to eat, which is either neutral or still combustible and in either case does
not emit noxious smoke or gasses at elevated temperature. These are just my
ideas.I have not ever tested them myself.
So for anybody with similar experience, what was/is your solution?
Please send to Gustavo Molina ccyd below directly and ccy to the rest of
us.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Richard,
We are having some problems here. Rats are eating our eco-leñas. We are
figuring what to do. Rats are always so tricky to handle. Have you heard of
clever solutions world wide?
