This is my first post so plaese explain the meaning and details of a "rat board." I saw it mentioned online as part of a wood floor in a barn. I am working on remodeling a very old barn. It sounds like it may work to slow down the mice but I'm not sure of the details.

Thanks,

James

rat board aka ledger strip is usually the 2" x 2" strip that attaches to inside bottom of the girder or rim joist, the joist then get notched and sit on the 'rat board'.
pretty much a thing of the past now as local codes require joist hangers to be used in almost all applications.
