The Environmental Health Department of your local Council will probably deal
with the problem free of charge. It is naive to think that you can deal with
the problem by capture and relocation which in any case would be illegal.

Curiously, it would not be illegal to catch and relocate Brown Rats,
though even more curiously it would be if they were Black Rats!

Rats carry a wide variety of diseases that affect humans as well as
livestock. You need to get the problem dealt with without delay.

Hear, hear.
