There are several tips out for sustainable gardeners to either repel pests like rats, or merely give them something else to chew on, instead of your wonderful crops.
I use hot pepper/garlic spray applications on my crops to help repel the pests.
I have also grown extra herbs, like mints, garlic, onions, and border cover crops like sunflowers, msarigolds, etc. to keep pests away from my vegetable crops.
Happy Gardening!
