Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
i have eaten local rodent species who made the mistake of invading my cabin -- meat tasted like rabbit (before anyone tries at home: rodents can carry diseases, so only try with healthy (looking) ones and cook well!)
I think it's way beyond time your neighbours got together and contacted the HA and complained en masse, because this is a plague and it's a real health hazard.
It shouldn't be incumbent on one lady to clean up their mess.
I am truly sorry you are having to deal with this; rats are just bad news.

I've spoken to several of my h/a neighbours, (the ones who talk to me anyway) they all reckon there is no rat problem.
But literaly moments ago, I got a txt from a neighbour who lives behind me in private housing, who told me rats got into his shed and ate the rubber seals on my new, second hand washing machine that was stored there untill I got time to get it fitted. It will have to be dumped. They put a huge hole in his shed, and also damaged other stuff in it.
He's too squeamish to trap, and won't use poison bait because of his pup.
It's just madness!
We are going to get more traps tomorrow from the farm shop, and I'll have to deal with his too. No wonder I stay single!!!!!!! I spent a good proportion of my working life doing a man's job, and I'm still doing it . No chaps to my rescue! So be it. I may just say to heck with it and get the pop pop out one night. Though I can think of much better ways to spend a night.
Now, back to that blood spattered trap that needs cleaning before I use it again tonight in my nightly assault on bloody rats...and I'm not swearing with that remark, I have a much nasier word for them.
