Anybody have an opinion on organic rat control? a 5 or 6 foot black snake works pretty good. We have a couple in the around the barn and seldom ever see signs of a mouse or rat or even a chipmunk. I imagine your customers wouldn't be real please with you dropping off snakes to control their rodent problems though!

Hardware cloth would be organic. I've read rat teeth are harder than steel, but they don't seem to want to wear them down chewing wire. That's good answer- I'm thinking about raising certified organic chickens and just trying to brainstorm some ideas. I help raise conventional turkeys at this point using toxic rat bait for rodent control.

Run,
If memory serves me, there is a rodenticide (Cholecalcifera) based on overdosing rodents with Vitamin D. It is approved for use on organic farms.
