indeed.
my jack russ. was a cracking dog.
used to take off like an excocet missile.
real vermin destroying machine but very gentle with family.
i used to wind her up and she'd just do this soft nip thing, playing back.
wouldn't like to get bitten by one though , small dog BIG set of gnashers..

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.

that's why the buggers do racing mate!
Regarding the teeth , i meant some dogs look like they have small gobs but carry.
Nice dogs greyhounds.
I think ol hoof hearted / chris keeps grey hounds.

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

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.

Also the problem with poison is the f**ker's seem to then die in very inconvenient place and start rotting.

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 'f**k 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.
