No, I don't think so. The Pests Act 1954 puts an obligation on to

catching them and releasing them somewhere else.


Pretty damn sure it is illegal to capture rats, mice etc and release
them. Can't find a statute that says this though, 'cause I can't find
a decent search engine for such a search.

Google is pretty decent, IME.

I'd be most interested if you do come across anything, because I've not
done and am therefore doubtful it has been legislated against.
