Description

I've Never Had Rats in My Coop in 40 Years — The Old Norwegian Trick My Grandfather Swore By Forty years, zero rats, no traps, no poison. Sven walks you through the one Norwegian trick his grandfather made him build when he was twenty two, and why it still holds today. Not a coop, but a stabbur, the nine hundred year old raised storehouse Norwegian farmers used to keep rats out of their grain. Four corner posts, four flat stone caps, and a shape a rat cannot solve. Full build detail inside, plus the two supporting habits that keep the front door locked, winter routine, and what modern coops get wrong. DISCLAIMER The methods shared on this channel reflect traditional Norwegian smallholder practices passed down through family. They are shared for general interest and are not a substitute for professional advice. Always check local regulations before building.
