As a skin crawling sight and harbourer of disease, rats are a very unwelcome pest at home and in the garden.
Gardeners could be unaware of the vermin infestation given they are nocturnal creatures. If you've caught a glimpse of the pests sneaking around at dusk or simply want to get ahead of the problem, you may want to go the natural route.
Even if you have the urge to run to the shops for rat poison, a natural fix may be the best step forward, given that gardens are home to pets and other creatures. Fortunately, the gardening experts at Primrose have shared some natural solutions, the Express reports.
