Kansas State University extension wildlife specialist George Halazon warns rats move indoors in cold weather. Five rats can ruin enough grain to feed a dairy cow for a year. one rat eats two thirds as much mash as a hen and causes widespread contamination. He advises poisoning, cleaning, and ratproofing with concrete and metal, storing grain on pallets, and keeping poisoned bait away from children and animals.
