Answer
Do ponds attract rats?
No; food and dense cover draw rats, not the water itself. A well-kept pond is not a problem.
In short
A pond itself does not attract rats. What draws them is food, including fish food left out, and dense undisturbed cover. A well-designed, well-kept pond with managed planting is not a rat problem, and the wildlife it brings, including predators, helps keep the balance.
