Rat invasion

One house that backs on to our Close had twelve hanging bird feeders, there were rats everywhere. We all agreed to stop feeding the birds on our side, lots of poison and traps helped reduce the infestation. Sadly the next door neighbour feeds the mangy visiting cats and leaves the food out overnight. There's now more rat activity, it looks like the poison has little effect, they tend to call at the bait station for a snack when they get peckish.
 
I was called out to visit a customer the other week because of rat issues. Went round moved the wheelie bin out of the way and one jumped out of the bin at me. Absolutely shat Myself

My mrs was convinced she seen one going into our black bin I never really thought anything as I put it down to the medication she is on,then she insisted the bin lid was moving slightly opening and closing I said to her it’s the wind catching it which was possible as it was blowing a gale,lo and behold went up to put bag in bin open it and this huge fucking rat scuttled back down to the bottom of bin,fuck me I nearly shit myself there and then fucking slammed the lid and put a large stone on the top and waited for bin day..went to get bin out for collection and a hole just below the handle had been chewed away about the size of 2 50p pieces and inside had tried gnawing at the lid to get out..I fucking hate the fuckers them and needles are my phobias ..

Should have put the large stone on it's fecking head.
 
I've placed three bait stations in the back garden a week ago, all the food blocks were devoured. I replaced them all but sited two unbaited, big fook off, Rat Reaper traps and voila ! Minus two big footed, buck toothed, rats.

RIP Bruno no longer will you moan like fuck and dive all over the pitch.
 
I had a neighbour feeding sand cranes at the back of my house in Florida. Next thing I had rats under the house. I trapped a few and put down poison . Next thing a racoon is walking down the street carrying the sack of poison bait and eating it like popcorn. I threw a golf ball at it and swear it looked at me as if to say you want to start something.

Should get yourself a pet gator.
 
I go work early you see them scurrying about Deansgate and Market St regular.
Is that story about the long tails years ago actually true. That they made their way down Market St and dived in the River Irwell or is that a myth?
 
I used to work in a warehouse out of town in last century. It was overun with interbred feral cats but the original mother was friendly. Would often come in the office for a warm. I remember stooping to stroke her one day only to see two legs and tail hanging from her mouth. Couldn't believe she could swallow something that big in one hit.
 
I was out on the piss a few weeks ago. Went in a bar and one nonchalantly scuttled across the floor and into the toilet area. I was disgusted. Then a minute later, another scuttled past making this strange high pitched whine. I thought fuck this and left immediately. On my way out I seen about 10 of the bastards scurrying along the path coming towards me. That was enough for me, I headed straight to train station and went home. I'm not going to Liverpool on the piss ever again :(

Brough back a memory of an old office the family used to have. It was an old police station on northumberland road in old trafford.
It was riddled with mice n rats and no amount of pest control even scratched the surface.
A farmer advised us to get 2 cats and almost turn them feral , like they do on farms, so we got 2 cats that i called uwe and rosler.

They lived in the office, we fed them minimally as the farmer advised and we would just see them coming and going and eventually just lived out side.
The rat population dropped dramatically.

Uwe in time disappeared and we would see less n less of rosler , though we knew he was around.
After not seeing rosler for 2 months i was stood outside early one evening and i heard some rustling n the bushes , and out walked this fuckin thing!! Rosler!!! He was the biggest muscliest car ive ever seen. I bent down to say hello and he basically growled in my face and went for me!! Feral, wild, well fed, hard as fook. Well fed on rats

I think there has been an increase in numbers don't know if it is a lack of pest control funding, climate change, mild winters the availability of food from our take away fast food culture culture. As someone who cycles a lot there seems to have been a huge increase in urban environments over the last few years.
