Rats

[Onelife]

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

That’s an option I will consider if my poisoned cheese bares no results…I’ll have no problem dispatching it.

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

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

Not if you dunk it all the way in.

Have you tried raw onion? Apparently they don't like the smell.

What if it's a French rat.?

[Bensham33]

It can't be a French rat because due to covid they can't travel.

You don't need the cheese or bread but a few slices of raw onion will get rid of any rat.

Hi Bensham,

I’m going to see if my poisoned cheese works before using my wife's prize onions, I will however give it a go before forking out for Mobs rat trap. The nature spy gets a sighting every night so give it a couple of nights and I’ll know whether or not it has taken the bait. I will put some onions on the next shopping list….thanks

Its days are numbered for sure.

It’s the off spring you’ve got to worry about.

Did you know that rats cannot resist a slice off a Marathon bar but can ignore cheese ... just saying

[Ray B]

Get Onelife to send it a box of chocolates then.

Just checked my poisoned cheese snacks and they’ve all gone.

I’ve got two traps set under a large flower pot but the now rancid bacon hasn’t tempted ratty…I’ll put a Marathon Bar on next week’s shopping order as a fall-back.

Let's hope the right type of corps turns up or it could be drop the soap time for you with big bubba

Have we all been blind, the answer to getting rid of ratty has been looking at us all the time.

[Manoverboard]

Getting rid of ratty 1 is the plan right now but what about ratty 2 - 3,509 ?

Bit early for dishing out the chocolates but I had no sightings last night

Yep, giving Mrs rat one no doubt. Get ready for the family in a couple of weeks Onelife. And it won't be long before they start reproduction, this could run for a while yet.

That's a bit unkind Foxy. I know the rat has got to go, but not like that

I think it would be a case of “Once bitten twice shy” if my detractors on this forum are to believed Foxy

Since no one seems to have seen any of your choccies whether real or virtual, then any detraction is purely hypothetical.
