At a place I used to work we used to go out for lunch on a Friday and take a stroll across the stream to the pub on the other side. The times when we were sat in there and we would see them on the sides of the stream.

They could have been water rats or, more properly, water voles. They don't invade property like rats do and they are vegetarians. We have a lot of them on the banks of the canal here and they look very similar to the rat but their tails are furry, though thin. They are an endangered species.

Re: Eeeekkkkkk!!
 

The man in the flat below me goes off to his caravan for weeks on end in the summer. He got mice in from the woods at the back. They came up into my bathroom via the drains duct. My cat who doesnt play out (too old) presented me with a mouse one day. I traced the holes they were using and used loads of Polyfilla blocking them. I have always had spiders due to the trees back and front. This pestclear has cured both problems. I dont waste time clearing cobwebs every week now.
