I DON'T THINK THEY LIVE THERE BUT i LIVE AT THE BACK OF A RAILWAY LINE WITH A HORSES FIELD IN THE MIDDLE, SO THEY ARE BOUND TO BE AROUND, BUT I CANT PUT POISON DOWN BECAUSE OF MY PUPPY DOGS

I'd put up small signs saying no rats allowed and Rodent trespasser will be prosecuted.

---

Put big signs up saying "Rats keep out" or place a hoover in the garden as I know rats are dirty creatures and hate doing the cleaning

Rats wont come into the garden once they know dogs are there because the dogs will beat them up

i have been trying to figure this out myself, i have dogs and cats

i have tried organic stuff, sticky pads, mouse traps and many more, the mice are still there, will be reading your answers hoping to find something new,

A python ought to do it!

I see rats in my garden so long has they stay outside I will leave them alone.They seem to be living under neighbours garage like you I have a huge field out my back,luckily no train line.I would leave them when your puppies get older they will chase them assuming you do have them.

Moth Balls will keep rats, mice, skunks and racoons out of your yard (And the dogs will stay away from them because they stink).

---

Rat traps or contact your local environmental health department.

Cayenne pepper! It will keep bunnies out as well. It might take a lot of pepper, but if you place it around the perimeter of your garden (far enough away as to keep plants from absorbing) it works well. If you have the stamina, you might dig a small (1 inch or so) trench to put pepper in so that it doesn't wash off easily.

Ring council they will send some one round with no charge for rats
