Ahhhhhhhhhh...Rats

So you're scared of rats when they're outside your house, but not so much when they're in a bag in the back of your motor while you're en route to this picnic in the forest?

I know a girl who is really manly and she will pick up the cage, etc.  I will stand back and scream like a girl if they come near me.

I don't like the sound of homing rats Dewi. I am not going to google that just incase there are such things as homing rats, lol 

Does anyone know if these Ultrasonic things actually work or are they like the x-ray glasses I traded my Ed-209 for as a kid?

why on earth would you use a humane trap for a rat? Kill the little buggersI can see some peoples logic of being humane to some animals but rats, foxs or pigeons just kill them they are a cancer that needs to be removed as often as possible

I had a knock on the door earlier from one of the neighbours. He had also seen activity and wanted to know if I had noticed any rats running around.  I told him I had and that I was going to buy a cage to trap them and release them. He wasn't keen on this idea and was about to go to B&Q to buy some pellets and deal with them that way.  I would prefer to release them in the woods, however I totally understand his viewpoint as he has a young son running round. You can't have rats running around next to kids.  I have cancelled my order for the cage and will buy one of those crazy plug in sonic devices now instead.

lol,  I named my dog Roland after him. He is a talented tv personality and I have always admired his work.

Tell him to be careful with those pellets or he'll kill his son as well.

BTW- Those sonic thingys will drive your dogs and your local wildlife crazy

I read the details carefully and bought one that only effects rodents within a small area. My neighbours don't have rodents, well apart from the one with the pets under her shed.  I will keep a close eye on things though just to be on the safe side for the dogs.

My neighbour seems fairly switched on so hopefully he will read the instructions.

That looks just like the rats that were coming through from next door.  They are gone now thankfully.
