One day last week I spotted what I hoped was an enormous mouse in a garden on my road. Yesterday around 6pm there were two fox cubs in my garden playing with a dead rat, much in the way my cat plays with her mouse toy. There can't just be one or two rats about, can there? This is the first time I've seen a rat in the area and I've been here over 10 years.

Wow, that was probably so surreal for you and something to witness! I've never given rats a thought but had one (apparently they are solitary animals as learned this later from poo droppings) in the attic. At the same time had a wasps nest and thought it was the sweeping sound coming from the nest. Then the scratching/scurrying noise came along waking me up every morning above my head at 3, 4, 5, 6am every morning and I got to the stage at not wanting to go to bed at night!


Had pest control in and they could say it was one rat as there were poo droppings in one place. Apparently, rats do their poos in one place unlike mice who poo everywhere!

Not many people like rats so if you want a professional solution, I can supply you with the approved traps and safety tunnels. I can deliver locally or you can purchase direct via my website ...

Rats have a better sense of smell than humans, as foxes are natural predators of rats they will avoid areas where a fox is present, but rats will attempt to feed even if foxes are present. I own a small family pest control company critter solutions. I am happy to advise in rats or any pest issues you may have kind regards Roger

    • Hi, does anyone know if the 2 x water slides are operable at Wavelengths in Deptford? In particular on Sunday swim sessions. thanks! 
    • We didn’t have to contact the council. they took our tree out of our garden and put it in the road themselves for collection.
    • Hopefully their customer service has improved then, as I've had several bad experiences over the years (despite their good reputation!) including fairly recently with a fridge freezer, which after two visits in person to Oxford Street I ended up buying from AO. Their TrustPilot ratings are interesting (I just looked them up).  I know many  people tend to only post when they've received poor service, but even so .... 27% one star ratings is not good.
    • Many people have artificial trees, some people have real trees in pots which they keep from year to year, and some people don't have a tree at all, so the fact that there are fewer trees on the streets than houses doesn't necessarily mean that "the majority of people dispose of theirs responsibly"! Does the council not publicise their requirements anywhere other than on  their website? I never  have a cut tree, but if I did have, I would assume that the council collected them, particularly seeing other trees on the pavement. So I don't think it's necessarily the case that people are being selfish or unneighbourly, though as with anything, some might be. They just may not know that if they don't have a brown garden waste bin, they have to contact the council to arrange collection.
