Larry, they are merely regrouping and preparing for one last vicious assualt on your house just like (SS to insert relevant military reference from some obscure 18th Century war)
Larryā¦
These cnuts have emerged after the winter and have obviously being nesting quite close to the house or possibly in the house?
The fact that they were wandering around in daylight would suggest that some of them have poison consumed? They will now head for a source of waterā¦ to quench their fatal thirst.
They arenāt in the house kp. When pest control guy was ou last year he said that if they were in the house theyād be making a racket and Iād know about it. I think they were in field behind my house and as that field was recently ploughed the rats have decided to uproot.
They have dug a hole under fence and between neighbour garden shed and my garden shed. They have also dug a hole at front entrance to my shed and this is where one of them disappeared to when I made loud bang last night. The poison has been put down in recent days so Iād imagine at this stage some at least have poison consumed. They havenāt touched poison overnight or this morning. I just had poison on grass and unbroken. Perhaps this was an error but I now have some on a saucer broekn up at front entrance to shed. I have heard two different theories as to what happens after rats eat poison
- As you suggest they leave area they are in and look for water. This I imagine will be to a river as opposed to my house!
- Guy in hardware shop reckons they just die where they are.
Well Lar, you donāt mind if I call you Lar? anyway Lar, you better hope they donāt die where they are because the stink will bring more in their hordes.
Only one answer for it Larry . Crack open a bottle of brandy and get fucking mortal. Cāmaaaan.
Yeah, If there is a river theyāll lightly head there alright.
I have a dead rat trapped in the cavity wall of my garage for the past 2 years, I can still smell the cnutā¦
Poor innocent Larry. Are you trying to convince us our yourself?
I know a fella who woke up once and there was a rat in the bed with him.
Thinly veiled āI live in a dumpsterā post from Dunph
It has now been 40 hours since the last rat was seen. My confidence is growing.
Larry , have you learned nothing from your first battle with this lot? They are merely regrouping and revising a new plan of attack. Youāve probably picked off the elders, the youngsters will be along shortly.
Doesnāt look good Larry:
[font=sans-serif][size=3]The brown rat can breed throughout the year if conditions are suitable, with a female producing up to five litters a year. The [/size][/font]gestation[font=sans-serif][size=3] period is only 21 days, and litters can number up to 14, although seven is common. They reach sexual maturity in about five weeks[/size][/font]
Itās well known that for every 1 rat you see there is 10 close by that you cant see. Now, we dont know how effective the poison was last year and im not great at maths but from the above figures I estimate there to be about 1500 rats scurrying under your shed.
Even if you do your best at poisoning the fuckers, the ones left over adapt to make up the numbers:
[font=sans-serif][size=3]If a large fraction of a rat population is exterminated, the remaining rats will increase their reproductive rate, and quickly restore the old population level.[/size][/font]
Your best bet is to welcome them in with open arms and let them take over, in the hope that the king rat will take a liking to you and everyone can get along peacefully
The rats are no doubt in the middle of an poison fuelled rave under your shed at the minute Larry. As the effects wear off they will become paranoid and delusional.
This aināt over
:lol:
One of these bastards is running around upstairs somewhere. I saw him this morning when I was on the toilet and just heard him running around again now. First one Iāve ever seen. The cunt ran into the hot press. Could be between the floorboards I think. Iāve laid out rat poison and bait blocks and am going to get some peanut butter in the shop now as bait for two traps Iām going to lay. I have no idea how the bugger got in, but he got in somehow. I think Iām either going to call him Vasily or Sean OāCallaghan.
Got in through a vent Sidney. I spent the weekend before last sealing up all of the low lying vents with very small gauge chicken wire. Fucking hard work but hopefully worth it.
It may reassure ye to know that due to more efficient waste disposal, and in particular, the more widespread use of proper bins, the urban rat population is decreasing year on year the cunts. Read an article in a paper a while back debunking the urban legend that one is never more than six feet from a rat. I fucking detest them.
I visited an old neighbour a few christmases agoā¦ in the middle of a a glass of powers and some interesting discussion on hurling a rat waltzed through the room like he fucking owned the place.
The ould fella didnāt blink an eye. I said nothing, he said nothing and the conversation continued.
Sidney probably brought it home from Quinns in his drunken state recently. Probably thought it was a bird.
Never corner a rat I was always told.
