Did you read all of the thread?
My syndicate has no litter, we all tidy up our rubbish, we don't get much dropped food on the bank, yet for some reason we get brown rats. Their diet includes duck and other birds eggs, seeds, insects etc. I don't leave dropped food or bait around, my dog clears any crumbs away
It does NOT keep them away.

Yes nick I read it all. Well in my experience cleanliness makes a massive difference,and when I say cleanliness I mean your own. Keep your food safe,bait safe, clean up dropped bait etc. And they will not bother you. They may well be around, but as long as they aren't chewing your stuff and coming in your bivvy then that's fine. Rats and water go hand in hand. So YES it does work

My club got a new lake a few years ago. When I first fished it there were no rats. Now there are. Human beings attract rats. Same as foxes. In a truly rural area, You hardly ever see a fox. In urban areas they are everywhere. I've seen so many rats in urban areas, because I am around at early times before most people get out and about. They are everywhere. The old adage of never being more than 10ft from a rat is very true.

They've never bothered me. One swim on my old pond there was a small field mouse and a small roland who never seems to gain weight in the three years I was there. Usually picked up what the Robins didn't.
The sounds that come out of my mouth at night is worse than the 15:35 out of Waterloo East, so never had an issue with them thieving off me. The locals were worse.

Any use of poison would have a massive negative effect on rats and mice hunting birds. Facts are there is zero litter on my sydicate goes days without any1 there. Of course there is rats as its surrounded by wheat fields an all sides and it is the only source of water during hot spells. Come autumn when they are cutting the fields. There wont be enough food left there to support them. That's when they come looking for food. Will anything stop them. Depends how hungry they are. Regarding a deterrent a dog is the best thing. Unless you have a well trained cat or ferret or mink.

With all the kit carp anglers buy why don't they invest in a bivvy loo or take bottles of water they can drink and then refill when needing a piss or have an empty bottle with them to take a piss?
There are ways of dealing with bodily functions and not leaving it in the countryside.
