:) to Marytha. I stopped feeding in summer, though some birds prefer seeds. The
state has not asked us to desist with things that cause birds to congregate
because of the bird diseases, though they might prefer it. They told me that
one dead bird is not sufficient to end feeders, or birdbaths.

You all are inspiring me to check out Black Earth for sure.
I had procrastinated on getting a compost turning bin due to the concerns
mentioned.
Also, do bird feeders attract these creatures? I do not have one up, and have
been hesitant
to add one. I keep the bird bath full however.
Who knows, the way the forecast is this week I may hop in!!,

The old fashioned rat traps work. Even if it might seem disgusting to have
to clear away a dead rat, it avoids the important concern that Glorian
raises. A couple of years ago, before we got a steel, enclosed composter, we
noticed a hole gnawed in our plastic one. I put a trap in there and caught a
rat. It was no big deal. I wonder whether pest control people give you the
choice of poison or traps?

Thank you, Sam, for calling pest control.
Please note that it is important not to use poison to kill the rats. Birds,
like owls or hawks, will eat the weakened rat, and then die from the poison.
There was just a case the Globe reported about a Great Horned owl with
babies in the nest. The owl was killed by poisoned rats.

Hi all,
I saw a large rat outside our garage over the weekend. I'll call pest
control but has anyone else seen rats with the construction on Marshall
Street?
