See them every time we go down. Slowed down to 1 or 2 now there’s a bit more traffic but in proper lockdown, saw between 5 and 10 on a regular basis. Big buggers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Dont like rodents of any sort. I will scream like a schoolgirl and jump on a chair, table or you if you happen to be close enough. My fear comes from when I was a child. There was some demolition work going on near were I lived. We had an invasion of rats and mice for months. Not pleasant for a 8 year old trying to sleep when things were running around your bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted July 26, 2020 Members Share Posted July 26, 2020 My dog likes to go wandering in the field, must be once a week he’ll bring something back, usually a mouse or vole. Mrs screamed the house down because she thought he had brought a rat home, it was a mole, no rats so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 See 2 or more then report it your council. Your local councillor should be happy to take the information and get it actioned. 2 or more rats is classed as an infestation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennboltw Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Had rats in the loft for months, council kept coming round using poison to get rid of them, horrible sleeping at night when you can hear the fuckers running round in the loft.

When we were visting the old butchering rooms. Place was crawling with them. Mind you i think we were about 12/13 years old. For younger readers this was long before Debenhams was built . And there was a cobbled street opposite the Argos on Bridge Street. At the far end was steps leading up to Bath St. I remember the rat man showing us his days catch. We knew how to have fun. Looking at dead rats , buying a drink of cold sarsparrilla from the health stall and nicking spud guns from the toy stall. We then moved onto the old BB guns.

Duck Egg Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 My late granddad used to tell a story of when the original fish market was demolished in Bolton. Thousands of rats charging up the street, so many the road was black with them and people were running into shops to get away. I always thought he was exaggerating until I read about it in the BENs looking back section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 The Manchester market next to the arndale after the bomb and whilst inside the containment area was swarming with the rancid fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 We've got foxes around us, keeps the rats down a treat, but drives my dogs into a killing rage.....Fuck knows what they'd do if they actually grabbed a fox, be like an Evertonian cornered on his own in Stanley Park....................
