Feed during and after the shooting season.- Set excluders around your feeder to reduce visits by deer and badgers.
- If you cannot control rats, place your feeders in open fields, far from hedgerow cover.
- Change the location of your feeders regularly: birds will find them quickly and you will prevent rodents becoming established beneath the feeder.
- Use camera traps and get an estimation of the grain consumed to see who is eating what.
