I have two holes in the ground near my 5 blueberry bushes. Probably one or more rats. Do you have any advice?

A couple of links with articles. I got some sort of poison that I used for voles - it came in a cone shaped box. I don’t remember the name. I think hubby bought it at wall mart.

I’d wager they’re chipmunk holes.
You’ll need to get a trap small enough for them.
Bait the trap with black oil sunflower seeds.

If it’s rats I’d set out a poison station.
But the rats *might* not take the bait with BBs at hand unless they get tired of raiding your BBs.

Smoke bomb? Run a hose into the holes and flush them out with water?
