cumbrianrabbiter 0 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Ok I was called to a rodent problem in an old building were there’s no utilities no water, gas or electricity ECT identified the problem as a medium infestation of (Rattus norvegicus) Were there are two main entry points a hole made by the rat’s under one of the doors and the other coming up threw the toilets, As you can see in the photo. It’s an old youth club that has shut down. Quote Link to post

night moocher 41 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Block as many escape routes as you can,and leave it until night ,go in with terriers and the ones that go for their usual escape hole will be taken because its blocked.worked many a time for me if you are allowed to take them that way.

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 If they are using the toilet as an entry then the problem is bigger than you first thought as they are coming from the sewers and the numbers can be huge cap the toilet off from the wall with a bung and the problem will halve straight away .

Not gonna work if they are coming out of the toilet, they will go straight back down it when you turn up with the dogs A bung in the toilet pipe will solve the problem much quicker Quote Link to post
Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) got to agree...block off the bog. Turd munching rats as we know carry all the Mr. Meaner under the sun. If this is not achievable, I'd lather the whole pan with bromadioline or difenicoum Gel. That will ballax em ;-) Edited November 25, 2010 by Paul in North Lincs Quote Link to post
