Chit Chat
.the good news is that London is only fifth on the list of world cities that are over populated with Rats.Chicago is top.so remember,"keep doors closed,you don't want to be going to your fridge in the dead of night,half asleep and you see a dark shadow scurrying across the kitchen floor"
so shut that door!
We had rats in the loft. Bought an expensive trap and bait it with cheese. Next morning the cheese was gone, the door was locked shut, but the trap was empty! Ditto for the next four or five nights. Still don’t know how he managed it. Ratty Houdini.
snatch and run with the bait. Works every time, or so he says?
One morning traffic was stopped outside Buckingham Palace. A white Ford XR3 convertible came out; a female was driving with a male passenger. The driver was Princess Diana on one of her early morning shopping trips to Oxford Street or Knightsbridge perhaps.
They become more confident if their left alone, they will crawl over you when your asleep they ain't bothered
set em again last night and caught another . the price you have to pay living with plenty of fields and wooded areas surrounding.
lumps of chocolate cheese dont work with mice either as previously stated with rats they also have the capacity to nick the food and avoid the trap
The fooker was back in a week later
Same mouse If not it was its twin , Again I caught , it was under the Cooker So I turned the OVEN ON the fooker had to come out ,Had book trap set up again ,Let him go a bit further down the Lane
Not been sighted since , I did bait a couple of Traps but Caught none , I swear blind it was the same mouse that came back
After the 1st occasion I did leave some poison out Obviously thinking there may be more , I think he ate some on his return Visit
Same thing Geoff Fields out the front and back ...
unless of course rats are a help to society in some way or other??????????????????????????
Anyone know if Rats are good for anything

Live in Essex see 3 - 4 fox’s per day

Oh god mice
We get them bad at this time of year, we live right next to a field so winter is always entertaining with those little fackers
A half left packet of crisps on the side and its feast time for them, and they mate like crazy 
Only consolation, when there's mice there's no rats about, very rarely do mice go anywhere near their big brothers

Something i can not understand="why do local councils not catch a few hundred,inject a disease into them and then let them run again to mix with the rat families,they could inject them with something that is transmissible and spreads from rat to rat ,and then the rats will do away with themselves.And it would cost very little money.unless of course rats are a help to society in some way or other??????????????????????????Anyone know if Rats are good for anything
Hard pressed to find a use for rats 
Dirty little cants that just eat, and f*** to make little ratties
I mean they love the sewers so that tells us something about them
I once shot one directly up the rectum. It shot about a foot in the air then scarpered.
Reckon the word got round the rat community that my garden wasn’t safe as I haven’t seen any since that day.
I used to see them running along the bottom of the garden until I started feeding the feral cats. Haven't seen any since, they will be lurking on someone else's property.

how do you get rid/reduce their numbers Sontaran??
We put the traps down and play how many we can catch
One winter there was a week period where we caught 46, no lying 
We were setting the traps like dominoes, caught 3 in 5 minutes it was ridiculous
We were infested with the little bas*ards
Hundreds around the back of the Shops
