My nasty neighbours have no drains for surface water and leave their sewer cover up on props to drain it away. I have been worried that that may attract rats.
They also have 3 massive general waste bins into which all their pet waste such as litter trays, dog poo goes and they leave the lids open to the elements. which again is a draw for rats, so I hope they have also been told to change their ways.
I don't know for sure if they have reported the rats but if it could be a tit for tat reaction to their washing machine drainage issue.
I just haven't seen any sign of them anywhere - just frogs and toads.

grrrr!!!

There are probably rats about, there almost always are, but this must be a more serious infestation.
I once found a dead seagull in a bush on Weston sea-front and tried to pull it out (with gloves and tongs) but it kept being pulled back.
A rat had got the other end and wouldn't let go! It was huge, but almost invisible in the bush.
They're good at not being seen.
i don't like your neighbours very much.

I have heard that you are never more than a couple of metres away from a rat.
I don't like my neighbours at all - nor does anyone else in the street so we can't all be wrong!!

Lyn, did you go to the doc's again today ?
No I didn't.:oops:
I was going to and just as I started texting my HoD to say I wouldn't be in I remembered that one of my boys is 16 today and I had his birthday gift etc and cake in the car.
He doesn't have much of a family life so decided to go in so we could give him a special day in class.
He was delighted so it was worth it :)
I'm still on the pain killers, so will go back on Monday if I'm no better.
