As a total aside...all dogs have 42 teeth, and all dogs have the same running action EXCEPT the greyhound. Not a lot of people know that! I have two greyhounds. Greyhounds are also very affectionate and perfect pets; they too take off like an Exocet missile, and also do the play-biting thing. Palace since 19 August 1972.

All 5 traps are still loaded and primed. I was expecting to clear up dead bodies this morning. I'll possibly have to relocate the traps to more obvious places, (like the hole under the fence to next door), but am mindful of not being too intrusive in the rats environment. The rat bloke is coming back tomorrow, so i'll let him decide what to do Edited by Forest Hillbilly (17 Dec 2017 9.27am) I disengage, I turn the page.

I suggest you buy a python. Then go next door to your neighbour and tell her that unless she sorts herself and the rat problem out you'll whip out your python and sort her and the rats out in that order. 'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

If you know anyone with ferrets (or at a pinch cats) get some of their dung and straw, and put it down in the places where they're coming through. The smell of Ferrets, Polecats etc seems to be a big 'fk no' to rats. Rats seem to have a primal fear about ferrets and polecats. My dad has kept ferrets for years, and the area around the cages never has had problems with rats - even when there has been fish food or rubbish stored there. Turns out that Rats really are scared of something, and that is polecats. [Link]
