So my neighbour from down the street who I've never met, but know who she is just knocked on my door and said to me 'you've got rats'. I was a bit shocked and was like excuse me? She said they are like the size of cats but u have rats. I just wanted to let u know as my daughter in law mentioned u were pregnant and thought be best to tell you.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but we have no outbuildings. No sheds. Nothing. Our garden is only grass with fences round for the dogs to be kept secure in garden. The driveway is all dig out completely with just type 1 stones down really for driveway being laid. So how can I have the rats ?
She continued to tell me her and her son seen them come from my garden over the street to the other houses. I politely pointed out that next door (at the back of my fence) have two pigeon sheds with tons of pigeons no joke, so isn't it more likely them? Her response was 'could be but they were seen in your driveway'. She also told me she'd phoned the council.
I'm going to phone the council on Monday as well obviously as I don't want that in the street - but I just found it so cheeky she came to my door but not the owners of the two pigeon sheds ? And the garden full of trees / shrubs and so forth ....
