Guest shadow Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 ask you local council for help , you only pay a small charge and it is cheaper than buying poisen your self , your problem cannot be so big surely ? some councils in england no longer do pest control it is done by private firms and can be expensive depending on how bad the problem is.

Guest Owen Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 I have bait boxes and traps set the whole time. Rats will ruin your birds so you can not have them near. In your place I would not consider cost or anything else. Those rats have to go and quick. Goodness knows what damage they will do if you have children. And even adults can pick up serious illnesses from handling anything the rats have peed on. And they pee all the time. In fact both rats and mice leave a trail of pee behind them as they travel. Please don't mess about with ferrets, dogs or anything like that, just concentrate on getting those filthy sods from there. Get a specialist in and let him use his trade poisons because they are far more powerful than the stuff you would buy for domestic use. Once they are gone you should make all your place rat proof. This is because if you have had rats you will definately get them again. The rats that you have killed will have left trails that other rats can follow for up to two years. So you know what to expect.

Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 had the same problem mate I have a post on here about rats with some great methods I will bring it up for you
swilcox Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Find yourself someone with a good terrier who likes a beer
Novice Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Looks to me that you have a really big problem. Like White Logan says best phone the council----even in this area they will help. If all else fails a guy in Beith club works with East Ayrshire Pest Control and may also offer advice.
just ask me Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 if anything mate set a few simple rat traps untill u get it totally under control u might at least get the few that are trying to get into your lofts
