Rat problem.

We had a few furry visitors in our garden a few years ago, then our neighbours cat befriended us and became a regular visitor, caught a few mice and rats disappeared, the neighbours moved and the rats are back
 
We once had field mice in our house, became a real problem as you could see them running around on a night, cost us £165 to get shut of them, we used a pest control company who came out, they had rid of them within a week. We saw a rat run accross our garden and under the shed a few weeks ago, not seen it siince so hoping it was just passing through, I would get a firm in if I saw it again, trying. yourself is not worth the effort. The problem needs sorting before they end up in your house.
 
Rats/mice are everywhere. Occasionally, they will be moving in and out through the air bricks and under the floorboards, usually not causing any harm. In your case, cute ratty visitors are inevitable. There are far more of them in the world than most people would think.

Had a visit from a rat recently, and it was hiding behind the kitchen plinth, always making a bloody noise during the night. Removed the plinth and found out that it had gnawed through the adjoining kitchen cabinet. Cleared the area, left the area open and waited for it to return. However, sadly, I've no idea where the rat escaped to because I haven't seen it ever since. Rats look for places which are dirty and have food available for them to eat.
About a year ago, it chewed through the toilet flexi pipe. So I had to replace it with a solid soil pipe.

You could've hired Pete. I've heard he does it for free, provided that you give him a few jelly beans.

Yeah, I get it, I get it....

I was going to "Reported" you, but I'm a bit worried that it might be trademarked by somebody else, probably MNW or something IDK ....
