Avoid poison. I had one poisoned and died under me site office, and one poisoned and died after crawling under the floor boards of a farm house I was lodging in. The stink followed by flies is something I will never forget --------
I think it depends on what his place is like. If there are places where rats can crawl into and die.Avoid poison.

We've done it both in the UK and France, even once in a rented place which was part of a Chateau and never had the problems you mention.
I think you were just a bit unlucky, tbh.
There are about 4 different types of poison which kill in different ways, the most common is an anticoagulant so they bleed to death internally. Tis all on the web.I thought the poison made them thirsty & they would go looking for a water source. ?? I dont even
know where I heard this. I could just use a 12 gauge if I hear them scrambling about.
Is the garage/shed roof in the background your neighbours? It looks a bit "ropey" at this angle.Hope you all have had a great day
The Mrs and I have got the roofing sheets on. Just the sides to do but they will have to wait until next weekend lol
No pics of it completely finished but she did get one with only a couple of sheets to go.

That is the neighbours garage. He will probably have to reroof completely as I think it is too far gone for a quick fix!Is the garage/shed roof in the background your neighbours? It looks a bit "ropey" at this angle.
That is a shame, two lathes is how it starts...... you really do 'need' and milling machine (or two) just to be safe thoughI had a moment of madness yesterday and put a robot bid on a pukkah Myford ML7 lathe.
The seller changed the sale type from just bidding to a By It Now option and someone went for it.
NVM, probably for the best as I don't have the room and Mrs. C. would have had harsh words for me if I had won.
It was a nice one with all the extras and I was prepared to go to 1,000 and he sold it as a BIN for £975 so my bid never got to fire.That is a shame, two lathes is how it starts...... you really do 'need' and milling machine (or two) just to be safe though
That's my understanding too.I thought the poison made them thirsty & they would go looking for a water source. ?? I dont even

Yes we do. "Loir" is how posh people pronounce "lawyer". Just a bigger, cleverer rat.
Jack Russell makes a good ratter. But they can't fly eitherOh but the very best is to have a raptor living locally, which we have too luckily. By far the best, ideally. But they don't fly into our loft spaces.
Just had to share this!
Yes, your invite to their party.
Maybe you didn't get invited to the drinks parties at No 10 maybe you were actually working!
