We have a serious rat problem in our barn… Yes, there are rats in this episode but don’t worry if you are a bit squeamish!
We give good warning in the video look away at all the parts showing rats and we also give a time to fast forward if you want to skip the rat part completely.
I don’t recommend skipping as its hilarious watching a bunch of rats jumping on Ken in slow motion 😂
We are getting our barn buildings ready to start the first stage of renovation. First things first we need to clear them out and get rid of the rat nests.
We also get a chance to use our rotavator again which was fun and make a huge bonfire, burning all of the garden waste from pruning our olives.
This was a fun episode to make, we hope that you enjoy it too!

We are Ken & Gina. 2.5 years ago, we got fed up with paying a mortgage and having to work boring office jobs just to keep our heads above water! We decided to take a big chance, sell everything, and buy a motorhome, which we used to drive our remaining belongings and our pets to Portugal. We bought a beautiful farm in Central Portugal where we live with our 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bunch of other farm animals. Every week we release new episodes of our Portugal Farm Life where you can get an inside look at how we live, on and around the farm, and adapt to the challenges of our new lives.

Are you guys not scared about the lithium mining in Portugal…especially in the Castelo Branco/Fundão region ?
Well done guys what an episode I would have been hiding and would have screamed if any of those gigantic rats had come anywhere near me. But all in all a great job done, those rooms I am sure will be most welcome in improving your home. 🥱🙀🐀🐁🐭
You should have done the rat attack for Halloween! Very scary. Hope they all died. I would hate to wake up to that in the house. Use the frame of the rats jumping on your chest as click bate . That would a million views.
Ohh man I would’ve loved to been there I love stuff like that. Next time get excited high pitch get them boys (dogs) let’s go let’s go get it get it lol chaos all over I love it was funny Gina the baker no the nurse no the rat videographer yes lol. Ken love how you just got in there and was used as a human rat ladder lol. It was like parkour lol. Google it in videos so you can see what it is. Keep it up guys great job.
Que pena, não terem aproveitado todas essas ramas das árvores, para compostagem. Tudo na terra se aproveita. Existem máquinas muito baratas, que desfazem os ramos para fazer a compostagem.
You did a great job of emptying the smelly stuff out, I'm sure there are plenty of rats behind the windows & things still in the room. Just shows how empty it needs to be until you're ready to work on it as it's a cosy home for them otherwise. They'll move out once there's nowhere to hide.
I was watching thinking I could smell it as you dragged everything out when I realised it was my cat's litter tray in the bathroom, she'd left me a gift. 💩🐈😆
Great job tackling that cleanup. But definitely wear a mask next time! You can catch all sort of nasty diseases from inhaling rat-infested dust, including things like Hantavirus. If you wouldn't want to attend a crowded indoor gathering without a mask during Covid, you definitely wouldn't want to clean up a rats nest without a mask either!
Is hantavirus common in Portugal? I'd be wanting a respirator or at least an N95 mask in that environment. YMMV.
Loved this episode! We have missed seeing you in the videos Gina, you are so funny! Well done both of you for shifting the rats, I was a bag of nerves with one mouse and babies in one of our outbuildings!
Gloves and masks 🐀 come to mind! Job well done!
U should have been wearing gloves and masks as the female rats pee a lot and u can catch veals decease which is very fatal but enjoyed watching u clean up from Graham &diana Norfolk England
I'd wear masks while doing this kind of work in case there's hantivirus in Portugal. It's very dangerous!
Perhaps some elevated/trampoline dog beds outside the main entrance to cool the dogs might stop the digging?
Rats….No! Burn that room down, pack my suit case and run!😂😂😂
Gina, I don’t know if it wasn’t shown on the video, but you should wear a mask when cleaning straw due to it retaining all kinds of nasties.
Gina you rock, you go girl. Love the way you got on with that. I would have been sat at the airport waiting for a flight out of there 😂. Can’t wait to see the work unfold on the room renovations 👍
Wear a mask or respirator when dealing with rat feces and urine.
I have to admit I jumped, was grossed out and quite happy with the slow mo!!! I then got to laugh in a omg that's so gross and frightening kind of laugh!!
Well done you two!
Hugs from 🇨🇦
Fantastic vlog Gina and Ken. Im still laughing with the image of the rats jumping on Ken. 🤣 sorry Ken. 🐀🐀🐀
Great job ticked off the list! 🐕🐕🐕🐈
❤️🇦🇺🦘
HAZMAT SUIT HAZMAT SUIT !!!
Oh my goodness, when you started cleaning that shed and the rats started coming down, I could not stop laughing. It was gross, but pretty funny 😂
You two are brave! I woulda squealed like a little girl. Bravo! Let's hope this problem is over for good!
Next time wear masks. Rat urine and feces carry bacteria that can get into your lungs like the Hantavirus. We care about you two!!
check with your town council ,they usually provide rat poison for free(pet friendly)
Even though it's no longer fire season, do you still have to call the authorities before starting a fire?
I know I couldn't do what you did with the rats. I would have called in someone to it regardless of cost. But you did a great job clearing them out. Hope they stay out now.
You guys needed to have masks on. You can have serious health and lung problems from the dust!! But YIKES, rats on your tummy. Yuuuurgh. One rat was running down the wall. 😮
Brilliant video this week very funny and yet scary. Rather you than me.
No no no rats 😬
Did you notice some of them run to the shelf in the corner you were so brave 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing 😁
Yowza! You guys have an amazing rat hunter! 🐈
Question – why not mulch rather than burn? There’s a lot of air pollution in central Portugal from so many burning right now, it’s hard to breathe in some areas. Seems like a greener choice would be to mulch.
But not the rat pee stuff – definitely burn that! 😬😂
Great show !
Hahaha You had a lot more pets then you knew, rats are good on the bqq i am told. but you must learn to start a fire without those chemical firestarters 😋 so not cool 😉
Where's Pied Piper when you need him 😃, great job 👍👍.
Peopl, Dogs and cats can get leptosprios from rats urine and feces. Be careful
For me Beer and Biltong. In Victoria Canada Lol
Great update…. but tractor 🚜 machine looks sacry… be careful ken
epic video! Prior to you saying it, I was itching for a shower just watching!
If you deal again with rats or mice infestation…pls wear mask coz the dust could cary lung disease…most likely when comes the time to broom the room. Nice vid, interesting…always enjoy " Portugal life farm"
OMG. That is hilarious, freaky. I laughed so much. You two are so funny!! And bloody terrible /horrific . OMG!!!
Wow, you guys dealt with that so calmly! Ken I would have jumped off the ladder, and Gina I would have dropped the camera! And I had a pet rat too years ago. I love how you saw them as creatures who just want to live and are dealing with them by letting nature take its course. Top job!
Hi Ken and Gina rats everywhere talk about a problem,rats only jump at you if they are cornered.you can buy online sonic boxes that make a low frequency to keep them away I’m not sure if it will affect the dogs.😊
Totally get how you feel about killing the rats. When pets, they are super friendly, clean and cute. Once again, nice watching all of you getting involved in your shenanigans. Humans, dogs, cats. Thank you.
Well, that's literally hell! 😆
Haha , this is a funny one, cant wait for next Sunday. Lekker man!
Lots of excitement! Flying rats! Cats and dogs gone wild!! Humans screaming!! Gina … hot and fast! Fire!! LOL!!😄😁😄
What an exciting video! Such expressions!😂😅😂. That sunset fire was gorgeous! Great work Gina and Ken! So fearless!❤
Eeeeewww!!! Good job. You re so brave. I am absolutely petrified when it comes to rodents
Way to get it done. We had a rat in our shed and it was just as gross.
You two are braver than average taking on that rat’s nest. You should have worn masks. Rat urine and feces transmit some nasty diseases.
