There is now more Rats in Britain than humans.

I saw a squashed one in the road as you come up to Eastgate from the viaduct.

I see some alot,on that small bridge that runs between Oswaldtwistle and Fern Gore.Its a wonder situation not worse with all the rubbish still on streets leaft by our beloved refuse collection teams,from the winds a few weeks ago.

I spent the summers of '70 amd '71 as a "Rodent Control Operative" for Accrington Corporation. The job consisted of putting poison down manholes. Judging by the lack of rats we actually saw in the sewers, I would say that this method worked quite well. I wonder if the post survived HBC's cost-cutting exercises?

What concerns me is that anyone is surprised to see a rat in an Inland Revenue office!

seems very apparent that accy observer runs a spread about Sandy the chief "Rat Catcher"LOL

stupid rats

the house next door to us recently got repaired and the cellar was cemented

they've all decided to move in with me and provide me company

the poison the council come around adn put is just useless - either that or there's just so damn many of them!!!

there's one possibly two loitering around the house here - i've recently filled all the holes possible with foam filler and i think it maybe the one that got left out in the cold and left to play chicken wiht the evil mani...

muhahahaha who shall have the last laugh now?! feel my furyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Re: anyone esle seen huge rats in accy and where
 
We recently had one living in the wall cavity of our kitchen.It got in a small gap where the outlet pipe for the washer is.My wife saw it taking all the nuts off the bird table then running into the hole.A man from the council came and put poision in and we got rid of it.It was about the size of a kitten but apparently the can squeeze into a hole the size of a 50p.Everything has been blocked up now and thankfully we have had no trouble since.

Walk along the path in milnshaw park that separates Asda with the lodge there are plenty down there. The other day I was nervously walking this path when a rat walked across in front of me (coming from Asda car park) with a large piece of bread in it's mouth and instead of going straight across into the lodge as I would have expected it walked down the path that leads to Hyndburn road. I couldn't help screaming as I hate the things and am actually heaving writing this at the thought of it!

I think they are qute immune to the poison these days. Is it blue stuff? I've actually seen blue rat pooh with them seeming totally indifferent to it. Maybe they think it's a new kind of food seasoning.

They do seem to breed quite prolificlly too.

Good luck in your battle against the disgusting things.

Too much free food available for them around Accy. The ones near Asda know no fear.

Re: anyone esle seen huge rats in accy and where
 
I see rats every day as i'm walking around milnshaw park. Poison has been put down for them at the lower end of the park but not at the top where i see them.

Re: anyone esle seen huge rats in accy and where
 
seems they are every where just been over shadsworth this afternoon,sat in the back garden having a brew and we watched a massive rat wandering round the bottom end of the garden for a good 10 mins, we were told theres usually 3-4 at once but we only saw the one, probably take a plague or something for action lol

There all over the place was at the BK drive through in Blackburn and there was a huge one just on the grass verge having its tea, was bothered by the people or the cars! Used to see them every night in my horses stable eating the poo, massive as well urrrgh.

Rats outnumber people. I'm not sure of the ratio but it's scary.

I read it was 4:1, and we are never more than 7 feet away from them!:eek:


I've never seen them up here, but l used to see them everyday on my way to work at Hyde Park Corner in London.

Thankfully I'm not the Pied Piper.

Hmmmmm....don't forget that the German word for the Town hall is "Das Rathause". (I'm not making this up).

The problem with increased numbers of rats is not just peculiar to Accy; it's everywhere. The reason is only partially due to increased resistance to poison. The main cause is that their everday foodstuff is far more easily available. I'm talking, of couse, of takeaway Mac's, Pizza's, KFC's, Kebabs and all the other rubbish masquerading as human foodstuff; It's not - it's rat food. So just remember that next time youve had a few drinks and then bite into a two quid donner kabab, only to sling the rest of it; because that is Ratty's Midnight Feast.
