The Mink man has the most efficient rat dispatching squad around. He uses dogs and mink together, and they really put the smack down on the rats.

[@PoiisonRainbow]

I Second this, would be a cool video

[@doggheadvito9046]

THAT WOULD BE A EPIC VIDEO ! BRING OUT THE MINKS AND DOGS! @MINKMAN @BLAKES

[@tbow9848]

yes this would be a good idea.. but those dogs ruin anything in there path,, the ranch will look like a tornado went through it

[@brandonbowling2443]

That would be a cool collaboration, I was thinking the same thing

[@kimberlykemp5369]

That's what I was gonna suggest ❤

[@brockn7878]

You need a colab with the Mink Man. Seriously. At least call and ask him where trained Ratters are in your area. Will make great footage too..😂 If there's one theres more

[@vicaroo001]

Good call!

[@kimcrawford5247]

You can also try Joe Carter the mink man. He uses his trained mink and dogs to catch and dispatch rats

[@belizeguy]

Blake, you will LOVE this! I am in Mexico and I have an indoor, outdoor Laboratory, and the rats found there way in. I have the same issue about poison because the Red Foots will eat a dead rat if it dies in their cage, and same with our three dogs. If they found a dead or dying rat, it could become a snack. So, I use regular old traps, that I reset daily when needed. But my best solution was not removing a local Yucatecan Boa Constrictor from the area. She is fat now, and I have not had a rat in MONTHS!! She is about a yard and a half, tame as she can be and very helpful. I imagine you could have a Rat Snake of some kind, as long as it could not get into any bird cage. Good Luck.

Hands up if you’ve been watching B.E.A.R for a long time

[@GodisTruth914]

I've been watching since he had his little blue avatar tortoise

[@kmba-9197]

I've been watching before the old tortoise building burnt down. I was so sad because all of his fish and turtles and tortoises died. I remember the videos when he was trying to build the old building and him epoxying the floors.

[@PokeDigestOfficial]

@@kmba-9197 wow I’ve been watching same time as u

[@acepetdetective4424]

Blake you need to build a big storage shed workshop so nothing is laying around.

[@mattiashellstrom4682]

Hey Blake! Hope you get this sorted soon. a tip i have is use cinnamon (this is biological) and can actualy be used on many pests! such as most rodents ants snails etc... note that this doesnt always work but for me normaly this is where i start. the reason its so effectlive is that its actualy quite "edgy" what i me

[@readyalways1414]

Great job finding the rates, and taking care of your animals BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@jordanral7945]

I have just this week caught two mice in my house. We have these kill bar traps by Victor that have a bait hatch on them so in order to get the bait, they have to get their nose under the cover and when they do, the kill bar comes down on their heads. My two three year old cats alert to mouse activity in my kitchen, I set up the traps baited with the peanut butter from reesees peanut butter cups, and gate off the kitchen with a baby gate so the cats don't get their noses in it. With the peanut butter from the reesees, it is almost immediately that the mouse is caught. I highly recommend Shawn woods' channel here on KZbin. He does mouse trap Monday videos that I'm sure could be of some help on the best kind of methods that are safe to use on your ranch. I hope my tips have helped.

[@chesneypaterson3157]

Keeping areas clean and things stored properly will help. I know it is hard for Blake having a baby as well as trying to maintain a farm. I think it would be cool if all his friends could come together and help him clear trash and help organise his farm.

[@daemonember]

You can get the rat teeter totter where you put peanut butter on the far end and when they go they fall. You could get a barn cat or 3. You have terriers and they would be good little hunters as well. But yeah I would get a few cats and keep them to that area for now before giving them more range.

[@MeredithHopkins]

I just happened upon your channel today!! Saw the video with the precious baby otters!! Watching THIS video had me so nervous!! When you we’re looking for the animal who made the nest and what was in the bin, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for something to jump on you!!!! I had no idea how rodents can and will harm the animals in your sanctuary. Love your channel and videos. I’m definitely learning a lot!! Look forward to watching more!! ❤❤

[@cheyannexoxo]

Dogs! The Mink Man is phenomenal

[@Daddy-ms2dz]

I love your videos ❤️keep them coming brother

[@continuingthejourney4287]

Hey Blake 2 natural deterrents for Rodents that my grandmother used for her gardens were spreading pepper she also planted mint plants the mint also helps with flea and tick deterrent .I'm not sure if there is any science about this but I do it my mother does and her mother .......😅

[@susanelezebeth2751]

So0o0o0o0o excited too see the new ginormous fish tank when its ready!! Its going to be AMAZING!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

[@soul2soulsolutions580]

We use baking soda mixed with peanut butter or oatmeal (equal parts no water). Rodents can't throw up and the baking soda is what kills them.

[@stevewarnock1525]

Hey we use peanut butter mixed with baking Soda because the baking side bloats the rats cause they don’t burp. And we use canned tuna / fish in the snap traps.

[@vicaroo001]

I LOVE that those turkeys are ever-present! I literally laugh out loud every time I see them storm a video. hahahahahahaaaaaaa

[@joshuaedwards1366]

Blake you need a trained mink! They're rat masters for real

[@SuperVlerik]

Mix peanut butter with some sugar and a good amount of baking soda (NO water). Rats love the stuff, and when they eat it and it hits their stomach, the baking soda expands and kills them. Apparently rats can't burp. It works, and they don't build up a resistance to it. Adding extra salt makes them go for water next, and then.....boom! Put the bait into lengths of PVC pipe, or a plastic bottle with both ends cut off to keep it as dry as possible.

[@90Beater]

I recently purchased a couple Kat Sense Covered Rat & Chipmunk Traps from Amazon and they work better than any rat trap I have had before. They are a simple snap trap but have a tunnel around it that protects the bait from rain and other animals. I just got them two days ago but have killed two large rats. With the tunnel system they didn't even make it to the bait. I filled the bait cup with peanut butter and a peanut.

[@jeffreylopez7397]

Hey Blake so I’ve had a problem with rats in the past at my old job which was sort of a farm. The rats would dig underground tunnels so most likely even if you put concrete bags around they’ll try to find a way in. But who knows maybe the rats out here are different idk man. The best way to get rid of them is by putting actual traps that kill them instantly in front of the holes and pathways.

[@cptobvious8390]

U need the Mink Man!! Lol

[@busestransporta-z781]

Hi I'm new I subscribe and wonderful vid mate!

[@judytrahan6121]

My Dad used, two jar lids, put concrete & sugar mixed together in one lid, plain water in other lid! He got a bunch of rats out of our basement, when we lived in the countryside!

[@ogama843]

You should get a trained mink or two for the ranch. Amazing rat finders and killers. Wonder if they would get along with the otters?

[@jasoncrawford4924]

Hey Blake do you have any cats they will definitely help you out with the mice🐀

[@tdej5346]

Put water in the holes (a lot of water, not from a simple crane, you need presure), close every entrace just keep one open where you can sit and shoot it when it comes out. Works for me.😊

[@fionaandrews6117]

Your dogs would love to help out Bully breeds are amazing ratters.

[@bdb1052]

My husky would be down to help but she would probably cause more damage than the rats while trying to kills the rats lol

[@ScottWolter-wf3qq]

I had rats attack my pigeons and kill 2 baby guinny's I mix 50/50 baking soda and peanut butter, make little balls and put em all over. Rats n mice cant burp,they kinda blow up on the inside. It's not a poison so if the turkey,guinny's eat em there good to go.

[@GodisTruth914]

We used regular rat traps with peanut butter and set sticky traps along their walk way. Our garage was infested a couple years ago and that's how we got rid of them. I hate them!! They give me the heeby jeebies!!!

[@pamelanoirot1427]

I use the snap traps they have new ones so you don't snap it on your fingers any more. Concrete along the bottom is the way to go, dig a narrow 3"-4" ditch with it so if they dig too get in they will hit concrete and hopefully stop.

[@ianharris9612]

Get some ferrets in Blake 😁😁😁 make great pets if you handle them regularly from baby’s 🤜🏻

[@JustKelly80]

We had a squirrel issue in our old house, like really bad AND they had babies that would keep coming back and having more babies. We got a trap for them and had a person come and pick up the trap every other day for a week. We caught so many squirrels in our attic is was insane!!!!! I would just get one of those traps they go in and can't get out of. I'm pretty sure they have rat ones. Good luck guys

[@RoseCityReptilesTX]

Get Joseph Carter the mink man over there! Haha

[@mohamedsydney9885]

Hi Blake, your best cheapest way is to dig 300/600 down all the way around and put mice wire at those point of entry they will dig and reach the wire and cannot go further good luck hope I helped

[@Jackal6178]

I also deal with rats getting in my shed a lot, I use traps and put peanut butter in it. Dog food also works sometimes

[@zaeway651]

Swfl checking in💯

[@dawntarver4214]

I find that sticky traps work the best. Lay them all along the walls. They have worked for me when all else failed.

[@UtukushiDAE2007]

I saw in one vlogger i followfor gardening, he uses mesh on the ground of his chicken coop to stop predators from burrowing and attacking his chickens from under ground. Maybe it will work for your enclosures as well.

[@nakomtsuu8433]

bro what a dream to have such a place to be with all ur family i think thats the only key for hapiness ngl ... need money for it tho we will keep watching at least ........

[@nakomtsuu8433]

& as an help ill recommand u to put all of those building materials vertically, not on ground & clean the "nest & hiding" area u have in this closed place, then track the next nest spot....

[@nakomtsuu8433]

concrete that al up too ye

[@KGoodfellow-hy5hh]

I love your videos and your animals. I am a animal person.

[@jamesgilcrease7062]

Sticky traps and silicone with fine steel wool mix in to plug holes in walls (I know all the holes you showed where on the ground and not a wall)

[@davidrogers6694]

How much do you want for the rat rack buddy and it’s always a pleasure watching and learning from you and your videos

[@juelz713]

Blake have you tried the Safe Bucket Mouse Trap

[@philipbutler6608]

There is a rat trap that sits on top of a five gallon bucket and they fall in the bucket, trap door type thing then you could feed them to the cassowary.

[@bryonflaherty5957]

I use snap traps . The traps are cheap and they work

[@Artsyships]

i seen a video of a rat trap that uses a bucket with bait. the lid is like a seesaw. so when they climb onto it their weight makes them fall into the bucket. i forgot the name but it helped a lot and it should be safe for your other animals. i wish you luck that you get the rats out of your land.

[@theiransmalley6129]

A bucket trap I use them for mice and rats. Works really great . Just a little peanut butter lid step on it and in they good.

[@dennisbarrera5511]

Godd job bro..to get rid of that..pests.....

[@ohFoou]

Blake looking like a dad

[@lando36097]

I’m your first viewer 😁

[@docink6175]

Shawn woods has a yt channel on catching vermin, he has several live and kill traps. A kill bait you can use is cornmeal and baking soda or make a bucket trap with a 30gal drum

[@brandon.4823]

I use sticky pads and snap traps they work a lot

[@tonybluedanger9640]

Will you be cleaning a area where you took all those pipes and you saw the rats are beetles? And did you put the most back on the ground?

[@loriosterday9180]

Try some rubber snakes Gramps always had them in the corn shed on the farm

[@kelleyrancher]

I don't think rubber snakes can catch and eat mice or rats I do not see how they would help

[@wonderchild53]

Steel Wool covering the holes where they've made nest...or Peppermint Oil...

[@dansaquariumandmore]

Concrete 2 footdown then in side on the edge bit concrete 1 footdown small gap wire all over then add soil and mulch over then they showing get through or another way find the best get somebody with some dogs smoke the nest out and they wont come back I tried both of these wen having birds and then ways was the only ways we found to work if you trap them more will comeback

[@budoneof15]

We set traps. I find that we have to move the traps around. I feel like they figure it out

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Hopefully everything is ok

[@kimsullivan7397]

Cotton balls and essential oils..rats hate the smell of peppermint oil, citronella, and eucalyptus. Place in deep holes, or even in debris that your turtles cannot access. The down part is turtles also dislike strong smells. So drop the cotton balls in holes the rats have dug and it will drive them away.

[@saltsavagechris]

Sticky traps. Or do the bucket trap trick

[@Freddy70008]

Sounds like a job for the mink man!

[@janeen_00]

Can you do a video on all your house birds I’m always hearing them but never see them.

[@Mya_my]

In Trinidad we bit the hell out of it

[@hannaparker5434]

You need the mink man!

[@nikkirickard9521]

I read baking soda helps. Mix corn bread mix with baking soda and a little water just to get it wet and make the baking soda stick to the corn bread mix. Mice and rats can't pass gas either way. Look it up. I'm not saying any more

[@xray5043]

I love no float mulch for my boa

[@Mr.Bigpapa_TCG]

If u wanna catch them yourself, put a large bin or container, fill it will oil and some sort of food in the middle so when they fall in, they can crawl back out. The one I saw had a rope tided in the middle as they grabbed the food they would fall in the container filled with oil

[@James_The_Dog_Guy]

Bb gun works great.

[@kerryodonnell5694]

We’ve caught them using old dog food containers that still have the food smell. Crack the top of the lid and fill it a quarter way with water

[@denisebennett3144]

Can I use a flamethrower?

[@richardernst8857]

If you pulled all the stuff out of there you could have seen it all and cleaned it up and out I wish I could work there I would have done it for you bro, I would clear and level it out along the fence where the holes are and mix up some concrete and put it all down the front of the fence making it all flat sorta like a curb but flat and it will look like it was made like that to begin with

[@timothywilliams7264]

Best way to catch a ton of rats an mice. Get a buckets fill with water half way. Take pop cap fill with peanut butter place in the bucket so it's floating. Smear little peanutbutter on the wall of bucket. An lean a stick against so rats or mice can jump in. But cant jump back out.

[@pack_lead9240]

Try the electronic mouse traps. Super eficient.

[@larnerbanana3862]

I have cats so only rats i see are dead ones on my doorstep 😂

[@AcuariosJV]

Saludos amigo 🤗🤗

[@donnawofford64]

Home Depot or Lowe's has them

[@Leahintrigued]

Have you checked out mink. There's a guy who trains mink to hunt rats for local farmers. They can get in anywhere the rats can.

[@mr_redhat1]

Mouse traps are very good to use

[@C.CUMM1NGS]

Put a hose down the hole and leave it running for several hours, rats love to live near water and can swim in water but they will not live in water, so flood their home then fill it in and keep looking for new digging. Also try keeping everything of the ground on shelves or pegs.

[@dirt15biker]

Get a 5 gallon bucket put wire across the top put water in the bottom about 5 inches of water .water bottle around The wire put peanut butter on the water bottle and put it in the cage

[@scootermcd5756]

Joseph Carter the mink man, would be great content.

[@mattizrutten9236]

Use a bucked in wich they can fal like a trap I don’t now what it is called

[@Lharperreptiles]

You need the Mink man bro

[@SkillSkull14]

Get stoat or mink of some kind it could help you a lot in future cases like this I highly recommend a stoat in particular for you

[@Sword_Massacre]

How about barn cat/s?

[@lorigodshall180]

Blake go on KZbin and look look up mouse traps on KZbin and will show you some convenient ways to get rid of them

[@MimiMcWil]

We’ve lost a couple of cats from poison. We put rat poison in our half basement before we had cats. There is no way for us to get it out because the poison was thrown under the house. We won’t ever do that again.

[@LizziPriscila]

You should maybe get some barn cats🐱🐈

[@Aussie.Mick.G]

A Concrete rat wall under the soil a foot or more down. so they can't dig under. Put a few Rat Sack pellets in a jar near them. It's in a confined area so it will be ok.

[@kylerdamron4800]

We use dogs specifically jack Russell’s, patterdales, or air dales to hunt all the rats on the farm a couple times a month

[@derektorres2920]

Dig a trench about a foot or 2 nd use a kind of bendable metal nd lay it all around the enclosure nd backfield it

[@missInsane3]

You should try to contact Joseph Carter “The Mink Man” even if he is too far away he may be able to suggest a team closer to you ! His mink and dogs do a fine job hunting rats together .

[@erglis7]

We deal with rats with cats. Our neibhour had a pig farm so there were a lot of rats. We used to keep 3 mousers but with cats it's pretty much hit or miss. Never know who will be a mouser and who a total woos

[@daemonember]

I have a dog that could help out. He maybe handicapped, but dude has caught 2 moles in my yard.

[@jennytillery6408]

Check out Shawn Woods channel. He does rat and mice traps. He has a barn on his property as well and will show how well the trap(s) work. A bucket with a ramp and roller or tilting lid works wonders.

[@heli-man-]

Peanut butter on a roller over a deep bucket with water then feed them to the gators never fails

[@bradchad-mn5wx]

Blow torches or 5gal buckets full with water are my favorite methods
