Once your own pampas grass is 5 years old or more then you can burn it down. Just dont use petrol or diesel to do this. Once every 5 years will keep it fresh.
This method will run the rats if any from the clump but it may also kill hedgehogs who can hibernate within it as well. To protect the hedgehogs you must burn the grass no earlier than March.
