you probably got hundreds ........LOL ....

Look we have had rats in the loft for 7 months and had "rat man" in 6 times ....he thinks there was probably 200 or more ..........


Look if they are out side DONT waste your money with rat man ...cost is huge and they never go they just move holes !!!!

if you know where the hole is fill it with cement ......but they will eat that to ...the rat man will take months to get rid ......


If they aint in your home ...leave them alone ....coz if they move it may be to your loft!

When we had rats the enviromental health dept man told me to stick broken glass down their holes.

It took me ages to catch one before I could. Waste of time.

I think the dead one was ours, he certainly doesn't seem to be around any more, I put a slice of bread out for the blackbird today, and it stayed there with blackie eating some but otherwise untouched and the rest of it is still there now. If Ratty had been around, it would have been gone by now, he would drag stuff off to his hidey hole.

Rats are amazing animals, intelligent and adaptable. They are everywhere and doing for 'Blair' (great name by the way) will not make any difference to general population levels in your area. Let him be if you can - he won't bother you.

We've got them here, hoovering up after next door's free range rabbits, strolling down the street at night, I've seen them all over our City at one time or another.

Mind you, we've do have a plague of foxes, and that's a completely different story!
