Hi, I have just discsovered that rats are slowly stripping bark off my lime tree. I have cut back surrounding bushes to limit eae of access but they are persisting and its not really possible for me to isolate the lime tree all together.
Any suggestions please?

I have found this product effective against rats and possums, but you need to reapply after rain. Get it at a hardware shop or nursery

The blue poison blocks worked best against my rat problem.
I believe you can get stuff to put around the trunk that stops them from being able to climb up. However they can jump from other things.
