Torquemada 288 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I live in Sussex. One of my brothers lives in Leamington Spa. He phoned me the other day as he had seen a rat in his very small courtyard garden. I told him to buy some traps, and he got one of the T Rex type from Pestfix. Under my instructions he set it and caught a rat in less than an hour. His wife then insisted he call someone in, and after a couple of calls with quotes that would make your eyes water he got the local Council bloke - Nigel who is a fella in his 60's. NIGEL TOLD HIM IT WAS ILLEGAL TO TRAP RATS IN YOUR GARDEN UNDER THE 1981 WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT. And insisted he remove the trap. He then told him that he had caught the "LEAD RAT" and no further action was necessary. Nigel - you need some training old son. 1 3 Quote Link to post
