Today while I was washing the pots I saw two large brown rats going under my shed at the bottom of my garden.
We have never had rats in the past only small mice at winter.
I cant shoot them due to neighbours next door don't like guns and will be on phone.
I only have mouse traps so added some brass wire to two traps and tied to washing line pole and left baited up behind a tile so birds cant get to bait on traps.
Just a waiting game now all night if need be.
Regards kev.
