5 Ways to Keep Rats Out of Your Compost
Keep Contents Moist One of the two things rats are looking for when they invade your compost is a shelter. A dried-out compost pile not only is inefficient in terms of making compost, but it’s a haven for rats. Just think: It’s a dry, warm, insulated place to sleep that might have a few tasty morsels to snack on. If you make sure your compost pile is always moist throughout—not wet, which results in anaerobic conditions and unpleasant odors—it won’t be a place rats will be interested in making their own. By turning the pile regularly and giving it a bit of water during dry spells, you can make it much less hospitable to rodents.
