Well, it wasn't phwar! But shall we say, very easy on the eye.Enjoy the view!
I’m glad that you are getting some support in your battle.
Do you think that he will track down the likely source of the infestation?
What would you know, since the rat man came, not a single rat to be seen or heard on my property. Although it wasn't in his brief, he set 3 traps outside, and with mine, that made four. All are untouched so far after 5 days.
So it looks like the job got done by me alone. ( takes a bow.)
Panic over for now.
He set traps in the loft too, as there were signs they were there at some point, but I havnt heard them up there for a couple of months, so I feel it's the wrong time to try to get them there. Still, it's nice to know that i may be free of the monsters for now.
Yes, let's hope the worst is over now.Probably moving the shed next door disturbed the nest enough that they've gone looking for new lodgings.
You knew the problem wasn't your fault, and that most likely it was from next door; looks like you were right.
You've certainly worked to cut down their numbers though, and that must have some effect on the breeding rate.
I hope they're gone and you have no more bother![]()
Bleach or Jeyes won't kill the smell they just tend to mask it, you need a good biological washing detergent to break down the enzymes causing the smell.Yes, let's hope the worst is over now.
There will always be rats about, being rural, but I've never known so many in the 25 yrs I've lived here. Daylight sightings are very rare, I saw or heard three in one day which put me on the high alert. I'm aware of the odd one or two now and then, but this amount was unheard of.
So ends(fingers crossed) the rat saga. I can still smell them despite bleaching the area. Off to buy some jeys fluid. Better that than stinky rat!
You can get some stuff for breakign down pet urine, has enzymes in, maybe that would work?Bleach or Jeyes won't kill the smell they just tend to mask it, you need a good biological washing detergent to break down the enzymes causing the smell.
