Rats - A thread about Cats

Sure you’d smell a dead one straight away. Telltale smell to them.

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. Couldn’t 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.

Jesus Fagan… takes a lot longer than 2 weeks before the smell goes.

That would appear to be the case unfortunately. On a point of order, Peggy Dell is rhyming slang for Prison Cell and not smell. The term you require here is Pen and Ink.

Get the loan of a jack rusell and unlease him, its a sight to behold seeing a jack shaking the fuckers to death

A Jack Russel wrestling a few rats in an attic would not be a calm affair and I suspect some structural fallout from it.

My sympathies to all who are having to deal with these (including @mickee321).

You can’t just go around breaking lease’s. A dog is for life.

I’d say 6 weeks

Six weeks will be no problem. Couple of weeks gone already.

I didn’t pay the 800 euro. And what a good decision it turned out to be. Seven and a half months rat-free.

Update from Dunmore. It took a good 8-10 weeks for the smell of the poisoned rat to dissipate. I alsofound another dead one in the garden. Classic poisoned rat. Dried out like a prune. No other evidence for the last 4-5 months and the bait blocks in the house are untouched. They may have decided to retreat in advance of another winter offensive.

You can’t beat the infestation of Dublin’s suburbs with foxes to keep the rat population down.
