Rambling Rodents
Had a weird job this morning. Customer is bothered by some kind of rodent -
heard scratching under the dining room floor & also in the loft conversion. Been going on for years off & on. Stops for a while then starts again. Poison has been put down in the loft & dead rats found. The council rat expert reckoned they were getting into the (insulated) cavity wall space & climbing up all the way into the loft. Well maintained end of terrace (four houses) in a nice area, other three neighbours nice, clean respectable people. No squats, rubbish etc. Guy employed me to lift some boards in the dining room & see if there was any way they were getting in. No sign under the floor of anything but loads of dust & a 1939 newspaper. No droppings, no sign of any dust disturbance, plenty of undisturbed cobwebs. Can a rat really climb up two storeys through cavity wall insulation to reach the loft? Why would a rat want to do so? I guess its warm but no food source up there. Any thoughts? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
