Keeping the Barns Rodent-Free During Summer

If you’ve lived in a Texas town long enough, you know summer isn’t just tough on people — it’s when the critters come sneaking. Rodents are smart, persistent, and looking for food, water, and cool places to ride out the heat. Unfortunately, barns and feed sheds make perfect hideouts.

Signs They’ve Moved In

If you’re seeing chewed feed bags, scattered droppings, or hearing rustling at night, you’re not alone. Mice and rats are busy creatures, and a summer infestation can get out of hand fast if not caught early.

Tools of the Trade

At Walker’s, we believe in practical solutions:

• Tomcat Rodent Stations help you place bait safely around your barn, away from kids and pets.

  
  

• Tomcat Mouse Killer I gives you a way to keep an eye on bait levels without disturbing the station.

  
  

• Tomcat Rat Snap Traps offer a quick, no-poison method for getting rid of the tough customers.

  
  

For folks who prefer the humane route, the Billy-Bob® Multi-Catch Mouse Trap lets you catch and release — a good choice if you can’t stand the thought of harming even the smallest critters.

Pro Tip

Even with the best traps, prevention is half the battle. Keep feed in sealed containers and sweep up spills. A clean barn is a less inviting barn — and trust me, the fewer reasons you give them to stick around, the better.
