| Re: Rats in garden and noises in loft
There is something BIG in our roof space (we have a huge roof space accessible through cupboard doors upstairs.)
The big problem being that we want to sell the house and have a structural survey in 10 days. What can we do?
I don't really like the idea of glue boards or poison, but according to the pest control people I have spoken to on the phone rats are just too clever to get caught by traps unless there is a very limited space they have to use as a corridor. I am not completely squeamish, I just don't much like the idea of using something that causes a long drawn out death if there is a more humane method available. If I have to though, I will - I don't want to lose this sale.
I am tempted to try a sonic repeller, but it sounds as though they don't always work - and to be honest, I now don't have the time to try any experiments.
I am guessing that a terrier wouldn't work in a loft space? If it would, does anyone know of a west country ratting terrier?! |
