Near to me some ppl used to have a pigeon coop (pigeons? really? ffs, may as well go and live in Yorkshire.) It got torn down the other day and next door's terrier and my cat seem to be in competition to see who can catch the most furry friends.
So kind, my cat, leaves us so many gifts by the back door: 3 little corpses piled up a couple of nights back. Probably a dozen all told this week. (I think the terrier is winning but don't say anything to my cat, shhhhh!) ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

King29 wrote: | The lady next door is 78 years old, her husband passed away 3 years ago and she has taken up a hobby to amuse her. She has a love for birds and little wild animals. She is feeding the birds from a make shift table on top of an old washing machine in her garden and she has an old chair that she puts a big dish under to feed the ground feeders (birds that like to eat off the floor). She sits for hours at the window at the rear of her house that overlooks the garden, just watching them.
She has a family of rats or mice that have moved into the washing machines internals. They come out at night and wolf down the remaining sunflower hearts/peanuts and fat balls that my neighbour Doreen puts out. She says they are mice, I am not so sure. I've attempted to photograph them but it's via her window as when I open the back door they scarper back into the washing machine. Does anyone know from the pics which they are? I'm worried about rats more than mice, she's counted 17 around 5am when she gets up, she'll top up the food bowls.
I'm at a loss as what to do, the washing machine is staying put (don't ask), Birds/rats/mice are going through 12.5KG of peanuts and the same in Sunflower hearts every 3 weeks and 200 fat balls in the same time. I don't want a plague of anything next to my property.
So anyone know if rats or mice?

Phone the cooncil. They'll sort the problem. Rats are a controlled pest.
You remember the Black Death that swept Europe? Well it was biting fleas carried by rats that were major vectors. Or get yourself a Jack Russell. Hours of fun. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Dogs are a lot more efficient than cats when it comes to catching rats but I'd give the cats 10/10 for drama.
Get something exotic like a Serval...

If she sits outside with them running around her then the next step is for her to invite Brian into her house.
The dead rats are being put on the pavement outside her house each morning? |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 305 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
