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!
