I don't think many places these days would go for the urban rat hunt idea. Most people shudder at the thought of rats, but killing them like that would be beyond the pale.  |

| Looks very nice. You have done a lot of work there and must be pleased with what you have achieved. |

| Rats are a pain, and sad it has upset the Sammisons again. Probably best to go with trapping in a built up area. |
