Gustavo, In addition to all of Richardss good suggestion I asked a friend of mine (Zan). He suggested dusting with various herbs, spices or ground peppers. Hot red peppers are used to deter squirrels from eating birdseed; maybe it would work for rats? Good luck.

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.
