Can't go wrong with the good old fashioned wooden Victor Rat trap. I got some from B and Q some years ago.Not sure if the size will allow them to fit in a rat box. They used to be cheap. They have a strong spring. Some of the plastic ones from the usual DIY stores don't have a very strong spring...

I don't know what your immediate envioronment and surrounding properties and gardens are like but I once saw a posh and clean looking small back garden with a rat problem. It's difficult to say without actually seeing the area in person. Things that could be contributing to your problem...

wonder if a carpenter could make something bespoke for you-mind you,it would probably be more expensive than buying that kit?

It's good that you will be able to explain things in person to the rat man rather than him being shown round by a housing association employee that probably doesn't know the site as well as you. He will probably do an initial written assessment of the problem on his visit so make sure you get a...

Don't supose you know where they are sold? Had a quick search and seems to be mostly fashion type capes using a similar(traditional?) pattern to this one. Just the right size to keep rain off the bits that get soaked first and probably heavy enough not to annoyingly flap about in a breeze...

A brilliant explanation and it all makes sense to me now. Am hoping to buy either the Alta3 or the Evolution Hybrid smock but was worried about the efficacy of re-proofing it. You have laid my mind to rest now. Just a couple of questions,forgive me if I am being pedantic/repetetive...
