O/T Pest Control

Just come home to discover we have a rat - unfortunately rather than just shut the door to the utility room where it was my wife ran upstairs. No idea where it is now and have to "deal with it". Too late to contact all the companies I have tried so far. Can anyone recommend anyone in the Caerphilly area?

Bump!!! Is that rat still about? Watch him cos they like to sit on the end of the brekkie table

Check your utility room for any holes where the rat has got in and block it up. Cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle to make a small dish. Then mix some peanut butter with some bicarb (baking soda). If you haven got peanut butter, mix flour/sugar/bicarb. Put this mixture in the small dish and put it in your utility room. The rat will then eat the sweet mixture.The bicarb reacts with stomach acid to produce a carbon dioxide gas. As a rat cannot burp or fart, it will internally combust. Keep checking to see if any food has gone or for a dead rat.

I could remember when we had a rat my mum phoned the council she said 'I've got a rat in my kitchen' she said almost went into a rendition of the UB40 song

I had a wasp's nest up until yesterday, best thing to do is contact your local council mate. Hope it's sorted

My late Uncle got rid of his Wasp nest by spraying fly spray in a hoover, borrowed his mate's gas mask with a coat over himself and he hoovered them out the nutter

Didnt know they cudnt fart or burp. Anyway, I have heard a similar remedy, mix some cheese, onion, and little bit of black pepper onto a slice of bread, and if the rat dont show his face any time soon then at least you have got sarnies ready to sit it out and wait for the bugger! Failing that go and borrow next door's cat

Thanks for all the suggestions. Wife didn't appreciate the UB40 song (no sense of humour - perhaps she will understand why her comments of "It's only a game" are so offensive now!) Have blocked up the holes in the wall to the utility room and added chicken wire. Haven't seen it since but the council should be contacting me to come around with some poison (although the bicarb option sounds more fun). I had no idea that rats couldn't burp or fart - what do male rats do for entertainment? As for cats, we have two - bloody useless. They crossed their arms, showed no emotion and are refusing to talk to the Echo

Company called ecolab in caerphilly

Gegs,

Moles can fart though. Perhaps it needs one of Moleys "Special Farts". They won't come back after that.

Moley

trouble with poision is they can die where you can't recover the body.If I was you I'd get a rat trap from B+Q in caerphilly and put a walnut or some bird seed on it.Its an urban myth that rats like cheese and other processed food,they will go for it but they go mad for grain and nuts.Never failed me.

chicken wire it'll walk right through the holes of that, and if you've doubled,trebled or even quadroupled it to make the holes smaller, it'll just chew through it, needs to be stainless steel mesh, If you ever have a problem again and want a quick responce, call 0800 587 05 06 or 02920 865080 http://www.europest.co.uk/index.html they're on your doorstep mate...
