Often wondered why we as hunters provide food (corn, protein pellets, food scraps, and even water), housing (trailers, stands, vehicles), nesting materials (chairs, blinds, insulation, paper products etc), and eliminate their enemies (snakes, coyotes, bobcats, owls) ... and then complain about rats? Are we fighting them or ourselves?

Well what I tried last year was fox urine, cubed rat poison, and getting the Hot Spot no pest strips from post 15 above and hung them in the blinds. I don't know about moth balls they may work good but I would be afraid of using something with such a strong odor that deer wouldn't normally encounter in nature. The hot spot strips are supposed to be odorless. The other thing I did was I cut the nastiest looking thorn covered smaller mesquite limbs I could find and lined the perimeter of the blind with them along the ground outside the blind. I ended up with much less damage to the blinds last year when I did that. For some reason the gander mountain 1 person invisi-bull blinds I have always have the least amount of damage by rats. To bad they are gonna be had to find or non existent.
