AIBU to not want rats in the garden?

[Cottagepieandpeas]

DP thinks it’s just what happens in the countryside (he’s 100% rural, I am the opposite).
I’m appalled and don’t want them here. We have a dog so can’t poison.
I’m starting to get obsessed that they’re going to be running up the drainpipe 😩

Do I just have to accept it?

I've decking compost bin dirty teenagers. Bird feeders. Large loft with loads of crannies... its my own fault . You are never more than a metre away from a rat....

@aquashiv

Can you get rid without poisoning or electrocution. I think I have them in my loft. The kids are always leaving food in their room. I'm not overly terrified but don't want to have to kill them

Well sorry but you do have to kill them. Snap traps - instantaneous. Someone has to be on corpse disposal duty though.
