Rats

Get a cat. It’ll soon make short work of your rodent problem

I don't think so. What self respecting cat is going to a*se around with a dirty rat when it has salmon in a rich sauce or tender chicken in gravy amongst other delicious offerings in the fridge back home.

Don't let on to Monty our moggy or he'll be packing up and moving in with you. He get's regluar cat food and biscuits and that's it. Rat would be a delicacy to him. He'd kill for it

Don't sent Monty to me Stephen. Sorry to disappoint you but I do not like cats. Can not see the attraction of them, sleep, eat and crap. I appreciate that some are very attached to their cats, but not for me.

Yes but cats never crap in their own garden, Elvis next door pops in to our garden regularly for his daily ablutions.

Indeed I do Moby, and they say that comedy is dead, I did watch the TV over Christmas and you could have filled a spot better than 'the vicar of Dibley'

It’s still on the roam but our nature spy camera picked up cat on the prowl last night so I’m hoping for a kill in the next few days.

[Manoverboard]

... else a pile of cat crap on the lawn ?

I dropped Monty late last night. No need to thank me. Same rates apply with or without a kill.

Invoice is in the post.

Thanks Stephen…I’m sending her back in a pet ambulance…with her missing paw …the traps work.

You’ve sent the wrong one back. Monty is a he.

Well I'm sure you've been wondering how l am doing with the rat situation....well the good news is that there is only one rat in the vicinity of the chicken coop.
l've had the nature spy camera trained on the area for the past three weeks but ratty is still taking the p**s. I've tried everything to catch this rat (including poison... in pipe tubes) l've come to the conclusion that this rate has a much higher IQ than your average rat.....l tell you no lie when l say it came right up to the camera and smiled for a picture last night!!

Today l have in inpregnated some cheese with poison and placed it behind wire mesh that surrounds the chicken run (out of reach of the birds) if all goes to plan it'll be me who is smiling in a couple of days time...hopefully!!

As for the girls they have been in self isolation for the past two months due to bird flu outbreak ... it's fair to say they're not enjoying it one bit. The good news is that they are still laying lovely eggs.

Just a long shot Keith (scuse the pun) and this totally out of the blue, but have you thought about getting the man in (professional)

It's never crossed my mind to do that Stephen as I would rather have it 'smile' at me than fork out good money for Mr Rat-catcher to put the rat poison down. The biggest problem is that my wife won’t allow me to put traps around the outside run for fear of snapping one of her wild birds.

You could get a cage type trap, foolproof and the birds wont go anywhere near it. Downside is that you now have a live rat in a cage to get rid of

No problem, just dunk it in water. End of problem.

Maybe in sea water but I thought that rats could swim ?
