This is why, as much as I miss feeding the birds, I will NOT have a feeder here. I would love to have some feathered visitors to my yard but not at the expense of attracting rats. I saw one run through the back yard about 11 years ago and haven't seen one since. Our neighborhood had a problem a few years ago with rats getting into the wiring in vehicles left outside at night. It would seem that our trash, left by the curb overnight, would be a big draw for these rodents but we have had no problems there.....yet!
