Attracting birds without attracting.....

These!!!



Had the feeders in the garden for some months now, and recently have begun to see these vermin (cannot stand them). Any advice on how to discourage them, and no dont want a cat!. Maybe i cam going to have to give up feeding the birds entirely. I live in a country type place, so obviously there are vermin about.

Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you-Brian

I suggest you put food on the ground for the rats so they won't have to climb up to the feeders.

Strange how I've lived in the country for 48 years and never seen a wild rat - maybe I'm too clean?

Air rifle if you can shoot straight, or fenn/magnum traps.

If you don't want to kill them, then ensuring they can't get to the feeders (but they are incredibly agile) will help, as will clearing up any spilt grub.
