Rats eating my produce

I have grown broad beans and gooseberries (lots more also) very successfully for many years, but have rather a disaster this year.

As always, I planted broad beans direct in the soil in both the garden and allotment early December. I had nearly 100% germination, healthy plants, and a good crop which I started to pick late May/early June. We had strong winds and heavy rain early June which battered the plants badly even though they were all supported by stakes and string. A lot of the plants  were lying close to the soil and in such a tangle it seemed best leave them and hope for the best. Despite this I had an excellent crop from the allotment.

The garden was a different story. Initially I picked a lot of good quality beans but then found most of the pods party eaten, and the beans taken, thereby losing most of a potentially prolific crop. I set up a wildlife camera but this did not help. It looked as if the pods were chewed by rodents which I assumed to be rats from the amount of loss. Again most of the plants were knocked over with the beans easily accessible  from the ground.

I have also lost a lot of gooseberries from the garden and actually seen a rat eating them. I also have a picture on my wildlife camera of a rat enjoying the feast. 

This seems to confirm my suspicions about the culprit for the beans, but I have never come across this situation before with both of these items normally being more or less trouble free. 

All comments or suggestions welcome.
