i heard before that ferrret shit gets rid of rats and mice, as in they wont hang around the area with the smell. the other half sometimes keeps a foal in one of her friends stables when shes weaning them and the stable backs into a barn/workshop. anyway they were always plauged with rats and mice till your mans son got some ferrets and he hasnt had one since. he reackons its the smell of the shit

I heard the smell off a ferret will keep them away aswel doyle. If you have one around the yard its supposed to work.

I was looking in to getting a few a while back but that put me off in the end. The smell. Washing the hoors only makes it worse seemingly.
