Its pretty dark when I leave for work..... and one day when I opened the lid to grab the trash I heard a THUMP.  Sure enough - there was a rat on the bag and it fell to the bottom of the can. It ate a hole in the lid to get to the chicken bones. 
Thank God I grabbed the bag instead of the rat. Now - I just toss the can to the curb.
I wonder of the ammonia thing would work if you sprayed the outside of the can? |
Set aside a small area in your freezer. When you have solid food waste that can't go down the disposer like chicken bones, steak bones, corn cobs etc. put them in plastic bags and freeze. Trash day put them in the trash bag. No bad smells, no cats, no rats or pests.
