Can anyone help? I've got at least two rats in my back garden and I'm not sure what to do. We filled in an old pond a while ago which was broken, and they are living in amongst rubbley bits we filled it in with. I've been feeding the birds since we were given part of the garden a few months ago - a bird table and some danglies full of nuts. I really enjoy feeding birds and have been buzzing all summer about it, binoculars and so on. I know I'm attracting the rats, but in the other part of the garden (it's split in two) there are loads of massive apples all over the lawn from a huge gorgeous tree which the neighbours don't tidy up, so even if I stop feeding the birds they will still have the apples and also the neighbour on the opposite side puts food out for birds. If I mention rats to the guy downstairs he will more than likely go off his nut and get the poisoners in! (Also, how easy is it to catch Weils disease??) - It's only a matter of time before everyone clocks on, - should I just stop feeding the birds completely and just hope for the best? Should I put on my pixy togs and get a flute and charm them away?? The one I keep seeing is getting very daring and It's massive!
