| Re: Increasing Rat numbers
I suspect the increase in the number of rats is due to the fact that once upon a time we were able to burn any unwanted food swill on our coal-burning fires, (Including items that make excellent rat-nesting materials) but in the interests of air pollution this is no longer possible. Also the explosion of new towns popping up all over the place and the newly timed fortnightly bin collection means it can be an ideal scenario for rats.
To look on the bright side, it may mean work for some as the need for ratcatchers increases. |
