I welcome you ....to the madhouse

I Pmd you its the little envalope next to messages press and a little message is there ......
these are called PMs = private message

Yes we hope this can be sorted again ...

Thanks so much for your support on this ....

ireally feel for you, the last house we lived in , you could see them crossing peoples gardens, thank god i never saw one in our home, the rat man said he was fighting a losing battle, first he said the poison wasnt killing them, and the sewage system here is still victorian !!!, he also said that a severn trent water used to anually put poison in the rains but this became costly so stopped hence there billions of proffits probably, hope you get it sorted kemp really o xxx

for the sake of a pound per household
the government would save a fortune
in spoilt food stores alone
and the hospital services would save
in treating the diseases they spread to

That sounds like a good idea .......but becaouse of that it probably wont be done .............

We see them quite a lot ....as where we are keeps being built on ....

WE SHOULD HAVE A
National put poison down night
eradicate the problem through out the country
all on the same night
this might just stop the problem or lessen it big time

though i have only ever seen two rats round here
in 30 odd years and they were walking
down the middle of the road during the night

I'm feeling sick just thinking about rats and mice, if we're not careful we will have the black death back in this country if the goverment do'snt do something abouth the problem

if you find the hole Kemp, get your son to sit there with his BB gun, and shoot the rats!!

Alison ...thats a good idea ........

think I will try that ..then I can block up the hole

Hi Kemp.
Try scattering flour or something similar around the edges of your loft. Might give you an indication as to where they are getting in.

Jean ........sounds like something to think about ...but I dont know anyone with a ratting dog ......

but I will ask about ...anythings worth a try ....as we still dont know how they are getting in ..

I was going to suggest it but have been beaten to it! There is bound to be someone in the area with small ratting dogs, They love a hunt and are very efficient., if you can bear it.

No, I know that kemp, they say your always within 6ft of a rat!!
ewww, sorry my feet are creeping now!!!

Yes but its no different anywhere else ......

everything crossed for you Kemp,
I would move cos I'me terrified of even mice!

Awww good luck, hope it works!!

UP DATE

Right the reason we in this town dont get FREE pest controll is coz we are the first town to DECLARE that our rats are NOT BEING KILLED by the rats poisons that are being used .

So the council has decided to give it a rest treating them !!!

He came and put down a strong poison and will be back in 5 days

They have a terrier next door !!!!! must be a lazy dog!...LOL

Oh and the rats are in our loft

Our neighbour has a gun with telescopic thingy and he's stopped using it now cause they are not always killed!!

Good luck what ever you do, it does seem as though you have a problem!!

cats get a bit lazy when theyve eaten one, perhaps a small terrier or a polecat (ferret) might help

Ok we have done the lot ...................

Rat man came last year and it took 6 months and more bait than "normal " to get rid


The council in our area dont offer a free service anymore and WONT tell you who to use ...the local radio has tried to help by doing programs on how to cope and who to call

so therefore we cant sue them .....


The area we live in is semi country and has had new building going on around in the last 5 years which has made matters worse ...apart from that we are lucky its a good area!!!!

The enviromential health have been out but its not in their remit!!!! what ever that is .........


Tried live traps but they come to quickley catch one remove it catch another we caught 4 in one evening !!!

We have 2 sonic buzzers and the bloke next door has 4 aswel ..he hates them!!!!

AND last but by no means least

Son had a BB gun !!!!!!!! he had a great time but they dont die they just run of ........!

Thanks so much people I,m really at my end I have been to a friend who has an estate and therefore they deal with the rats all the time he is coming at 2 to see what he can do to help .....

Will keep you up to date
