I live in the remains of an old pecan grove and we have always had a problem with the bushy tailed rats.....I do shoot them when they start digging up my trees. I have 25 or 30 years invested in some of my trees and will not tolerate those varmits damaging or killing them. I have always wired my trees into the pots too.

An old friend of mine years ago lived in a very restricted neighborhood... everyone had small yards and there was no way he could shoot them with a pellet gun the way I do. His neighbors would have lynched him. So, he started baiting rat traps with peanut butter. Worked like a charm. He killed tons of the little varmits. He would go out at dusk, empty the traps of the dead squirrels, reset the trap and throw the bodies of the deceased in a garbage bag. The neighbors never knew.
