Hole appeared 2'+ deep. Rat drain or other? Ps have Jack Russell if that counts!?

  I have seen similar in my garden and as I live near a water culvert I also suspect rats. I'm doubtful about laying poison in case it's something more friendly.

  I think it’s time for the Jack Russell to earn his keep 😉

  @mmmark1966Z3B29tey I wonder if your Jack Russell would have found a rat long before you?

  I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

  Thanks for all the feedback. I have concluded that Maggie the dog has lost her ratting mojo!!
