I've been home-composting for about 20 years and I've never had rats or mice in my compost. I once, when I had an open compost heap, found a hedgehog asleep in it and I've heard of one or two snakes getting in (usually harmless grass snakes) but all I get in my bin is worms, tiny fruit flies and, in the old bin after about 5 years, a colony of ants.

Worms, worms & more worms....oh and yes, the tiny fruit flies............but SNAKES..........i think i may prefer the rats & mice.....LOL:eek:

Re: Compost Question
 

Oh I've never found one myself, just heard about them. Forgot to say, though, I get the odd toad, but I like toads. :)

Although there's link between compost bins and rodents, they tend to be in ones where the owner has put cooked food waste in to the bin. A big no-no!!
