They are pretty bad this year.
A old neighbour rang me last weekend and said she was having an issue with them. I called over⌠jesus, there were about 10 rats running around her garden eating the food that had fallen from the bird tables. I never seen so many at once⌠They really didnât take much notice of me and continued about their business. I returned with a Jack Russel and they fled.
I set plenty of poison and they havenât been back since. I also took down her bird tables and told her to stop feeding the useless cunts of cats outside.
I have a vested interest in this as she lives right across the road and our lawn is infested with the fcukers as a result. Its cuntish when the kids are playing in the lawn but sure what can you do⌠let them at it.
The country is walking with the cunts this spring.

When doing the safe pass they showed us a video of them multiplying. 1 male and I female can result in 15,000 rats in a year.
Also they have been doing infra red videoing of this empty estates and houses all over the country, apparently at night the visual is like tennis balls rolling over and back all night long. Literally thousands were seen in one place in Meath. Up and down the stairs, on 2 floors and in every house. Frightening.

I believe the building that Facebook now occupy in Grand Canal Dock had a serious rat problem for these very reasons. It delayed them moving into it for 6 months or something.
in my North Kildare house there has been a most unsettling developement
whilst sitting in the living room alone staring at the setting sunshine contemplating the issues at hand and appreciating the infrequent silence that we so often take for granted in life these days i heard from behind me a sound like plasterboard crumbling away and falling between the hollow wallâŚ
there was a scratching type sound and the crumbling of something.
it lasted about 5 mins,
it occurred again last night
The âwallâ in question is a holow type thing between living room and landing area⌠house is two story, there is an attic also
initial thoughts are rats in the attic attacking the plasterboard?
house is ~5 years old

If they are shitting paper clips Iâd get the fuck out of there Mickee
This thread has taken a sinister turn (from the rats point of view 
)
@Kinvaraâs Passion , how do i break the news of the potential infestation to my wife?
Not sure how to approach this one mate⌠my only experience here is when we had mice in the garage and even then I didnât divulge the full truthâŚ
Any chance you could ship her off for a spa weekend whilst you and the young man go to town on the rats?
Otherwise youâll be house hunting next Saturday.

Only dead ones. I detected rodent activity in the house in Dunmore about 4 weeks ago. A sponge under the sink looked like it had been nibbled. I also spotted where I thought the cunt had got in and I blocked it up. I put down two blocks of poison at that spot. Came back two weeks later and the two blocks were vanished without a trace. Put down two more blocks there and two more in another spot. The four new blocks were totally intact but there is a Peggy Dell in the house that would knck a fucking horse. I concluded that the cunt had swallowed the two blocks whole. Couldnât get back out of the house and shuffled up to the attic or between the walls to meet his maker. Could be another fortnight before the Peggy dissipates.
