Had to put wire mesh round my bin, after a rat gnawed a hole through
it. And we're not talking an average plastic dustbin - this is a 40
gallon plastic 'spice' barrel...about 5mm wall thickness.

That must have been one hungry rat. I'd have thought there would
generally be much easier pickings around. Was it the middle of winter?
