Have you had any trouble with these lovely little fellas?
We had some in our roof space a couple of months back.
Couldn't stand dealing with the little blighters, so we got a pest control chap in.
He left poison for them and came back a few days later to take away the bodies.
I've read somewhere that if you're in a British city you're only ever an average of 5 or 10 yards away from a rat. What are things like in NZ?
