Thanks for the advice, folks. Once these rats are dead & buried, I'll see
what I can do to keep them out in future.

That might not be for a little while, though - it seems from the available
evidence that after the bait was put down on Friday, some sneaky beggar came
along and removed it, so the council had to come out again today and put
some more down. Hope this lot lasts a bit longer ...
