DIDO.1 22,844 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Any pesties available in Liverpool to look at a rat job ASAP. It's a facilities management company I work for so could lead to more work from them as they are a good contact (hence why I said I'd help ask for them out my area) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,844 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I once got asked to attend an empty house on a housing estate in Liverpool, workmen had reported rat droppings. Any way I pulled into this estate and I felt like a British squaddie walking into a Catholic housing estate in northern Ireland during the troubles. I'd say 3 out of every 4 houses were boarded up with metal shutters. I'm guessing they were either knocking the estate down or doing it all up. Anyway I could feel the hatred and suspicion as I parked up and walked up this path. People were coming out of houses, heads popping over fences etc. After 2-3 minutes there was a group of scabby kids around my van and a couple of single mother types looking at the house. One of the women hissed something about seeing my badge. I'd not a clue what she was squawking at me. She started going on about 'bizzies'. It dawned on me that she was accusing me of being police. I told her I was just a pest controller looking for rats, I locked up the house and got in my van ASAP, keeping this crowd of strange beings at the sharp end of my moling probe, and fcked off as fast as I could back through the barricades and burnt out cars. The housing management company refused to pay as they said I'd only been in the house for 4 minutes, they could tell from the times I'd deactivated and reactivated the alarms. I told em to stick it up their arse. I still have flashbacks and suffer PTSD. ......for more exciting, edge of the seat, pest control adventures please buy my new book, released by SAS publishing! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,844 Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I get asked that all the time. Nothing seems strange to me anymore. I've worked in smack head houses, hoarders houses, all sorts. A house stacked high with used sanitary towels. Walked into a house and rats came running down the stairs to be fed. An old farmer had been feeding them dog biscuits, he slept sat up in a chair in the front room, feeding the rats like pets. One day he had a heart attack and the rats had eaten him. Honestly. We arrived after the body had been moved obviously. 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You must be paid some wedge to work in that mate.My brother was on a few episodes of a life of grime or some similar program,a few years back,I don’t think he ever worked in anything like those conditions,that’s grim.
