In order to eliminate a rodent problem, I changed the timing and location of chicken feeding, in addition to installing a bucket trap. This was highly effective. The feeding station was located underneath a (pre- existing) corrugated plastic canopy previously used to house a BBQ. This prevented rain water getting into the plastic feeders and clogging the dispenser with soggy feed pellets. The feeding station was at the rear of the garage, and sufficiently exposed to deter rodents, although I did find a hedgehog mooching around one evening when I went out to put the feeders indoors.
