Otherwise, get a rat man in to
poison them (our WONDERFUL government will no longer allow effective
rat poisons to be sold to the peasantry).

What makes you say that? I get a very efficient poison from my local ag'
merchant or feed store to put into my bait boxes.


Actually with one exception the same bait is available to amateurs as the
council .........its the form of bait you use and the way you use it thats
crucial

Antec who make Tomcat 2 also do a block bait which you can secure and is
much easier to see how much the pests are eating also their farm
applications expert if you phone him is excellent in giving advice

Once i did what he said the rat problem disapeared

its vital to site all compost bins on solid concrete bases not straight onto
soil
