That is not the case in respect of maize. The size of the rat population in maize fields is extraordinary right the way through into January. People who live in the vicinity of maize fields become extremely cross when rats start hopping into their back gardens. Maize is particularly prone to infestation by rats. For some reason they love it and the size of the rat population increases while they are feeding off it. I would like a more practical approach to be taken.
