My chicken run is crawling with them. Sensible option is rat traps, but preferred option is high-powered, only just legal, air rifle, with telescopic infra-red sight, and a couple of amusing nights taking pot-shots at the little f**kers. Had a play with the father-in-law's new one, grouping within a 10p at 20 yards (down side being the whole kit would be pushing a grand). Maybe the rat traps then, but I'll treat myself to wearing camo clothing and face-paint when I set them

I hold her responsible for creating this scenario with her careless disregard for hygiene. Can I inform the council to take action against her ?

All tenancy agreement prohibit you from dirty habits and causing annoyance to the neighbours. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I could give you advice about killing the buggers, but your question is about the neighbour. Assuming we still have local authorities in this country, I would get straight on to the environmental health department, then not give up until they take action. Palace since 19 August 1972.

Fair play. And contrary to a lot of popular belief, Jack Russell Terriers are really good pets; very affectionate dogs. (Maybe the same could be said of the neighbour!)

Forest Hillbilly in a hidey-hole 16 Dec 17 5.04pm
I have a 5 month old Fox terrier, who would probably like to kill something. Trouble is , I don't want her getting injured, or catching some sort of disease from the rat environment. She definitely wants to kill something, as she has chased garden birds and sheep in a nearby field. I'll check the traps tomorrow, and hopefully there will be a few dead bodies. I don't want to keep checking, as the rats become suspicious of human activity. On the other hand, I need to remove any dead rat bodies, as this gives a warning scent to other rats. So I need to reset the traps after removing dead bodies. I also need to get Local Authority Environmental Health on the case. In spite of my hostile relationship with the skank-lady neighbour, it needs to be witnessed by someone independent, who can take action. When I was 10, I read James Herbert's 'The Rats'. That book scared the 5hlt out of me, so I'm still a bit nervous of the bvgg3rs "The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak
