Bosun11 537 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Couple of years back I got a call from a woman who runs a smallholding not far from me. She said she had a rat problem, and could I come and help. I went for a look without the dogs first. It was just a couple of fields with tatty sheds, one for stableing horses and the other that kept a few hens and one to make a brew etc. They were right next to a lovely, sand bottomed brook, that was honeycombed with rat holes. I offered to give the pace a go ( i'd be a fool not too) but the best bit was when she said 'watch this' and pulled out a bag of grain and started filling up the chicken feeders. Hearing the noise, around twenty or so rats came out of the holes and surrounded her, some skipping over her feet as she 'told them' she'd had enough, and 'this man is here to sort you lot out... It was like the Pied- Piper of Hamliyn..!! Yep, we had some good days there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
