No foxes we not allowed after the animal rights broke in to one of our buildings and sat in for 3 days

 

so the council bottled and stoped

 

I know of a pest guy in surrey who went to a house to look at some foxie to give advice Not to trap of harm any foxies

 

and it was a set up the animal rights kicked the sh1t out of the poor fooker put him in hospital

Back to rats. We have 2 lurchers and 2 Jack Russells. I see the rats come from next door (too dangerous to live here) after the bird food I put out (even go up the trees too) as soon as they leave the house! They also move into the compost bin when the terriers go on their travels.

 

I am loath to put poison down for the rats, in case the dogs get hold of it or the rats that have eaten it. The terriers do their best, but when they were away the other week there was 3 of em out there!! Is trapping the rats the way to go?

[Copey]

Is trapping the rats the way to go?

 

as long as you dont get one of the dogs

[FredTransit]

That's the other worry! The smallest one is the worst for hunting and only weighs 6kg. She had a pigeon a couple of weeks ago, pulled it's head off then got bored with it! Sometimes I am amazed we have any wildlife at all in the garden.
