Apparently the rat population is exploding due to a lack of litter bins and not being emptied so when rubbish is left at the side of bins it's a rat feedfest...

Any sightings ?

We've always had rats on the green by my house. They live under a big tree there.

I saw one in my garden a few months ago.

We’ve had some mild winters that haven’t reduced the population like a good cold one does. As a result they have been breeding exponentially, they’re becoming a bit of a problem just about everywhere.

I normally see a small mischief of rats when crossing the bridge over the river nearby at night.

They normally scuttle away as they see me approaching, but syndromes just sit and watch.

They don't bother me though, I've got two pet rats. Lovely, intelligent and really clean little things. Taught one of them to play fetch with me recently

I wouldn't go near a wild rat though, same as I wouldn't go near a stray cat or dog.

yes rats are considered vermin and can spread potentially serious diseases, including Leptospirosis, which can lead to Weil's disease.

Yes I've seen rats before. My parents house backed onto woodlands and I occasionally saw one there. I was also once stood outside a pub in a quiet side street in Liverpool at night and over the road was a wall that had like ventilation holes in it as the old railway track is the other side and I saw some rats sticking their heads out before going back in.

Fiction: Mice and rats don’t have bladders and are urinating constantly.

Fact: They have bladders. The misconception lies in the fact they use their urine as a form of communication, which causes them to mark their territory constantly.

Wrong choice of words on my part, I didn't mean they didn't have bladders and I'll change my words to over urination (causes them to mark their territory constantly) we had fancy rats, which were highly over bred (dumbo eared rats and tailless) the over urination was not pleasant

They might urinate a lot, but have better personal hygiene than cats and dogs and will often clean themselves for a few hours a day.

They are also less like to pass on bacteria, viruses and parasites (such as toxoplasmosis, which caused my mum to born partially sighted) than cats or dogs.

So if you think rats are bad, you'd probably better also stay away from cats and dogs.

That sounds like the effect of rat poison to me. It was probably writhing about in a lot of pain

Biggest problem with rats and their urine is Weils disease, very dangerous!

They need 3 things. Food,water and cover. If these 3 things are available then the rats will be there. You might not see them but they are there. There is a saying that you are never more than 2 yards from a rat and this will be especially true in a place like London

You are never far from a rat.

It's a fallacy that it's lack of bins though.

What happens often is that a bin is put out and the residents take their household rubbish and put it in the bin sometimes they take the top of the bin and then put a whole bag in it.

Result binges filled in minutes. Means that someone with a kebab or can or paper goes to bin sees it full then puts their rubbish on the floor. Result rats.

Yep. Always knew there were rats but we started seeing them in the garden in broad daylight, and then they began causing a shit ton of damage.

Traps and poison seems to have taken care of them quite quickly, thankfully, as they had already started breeding.

They are unbelievable! They can have six litters per year (average 10 to 12 per litter) and reach sexual maturity after 4 to 5 weeks so a pair of rats can easily become 1000 plus rats in 12 months

The expression "shagging like rabbits" needs renaming to "snagging like rats" . Unfortunately wild rabbits are currently very susceptible to diseases as well as myxomatosis but rats are very hardy and not a lot bothers them apart from a 22 rifle or a damn good terrier (although not more than 1 terrier cus that would be breaking the law) ??

Ventilators are so last year Granny, I have signed a contract with BoJo for fresh air. I am supplying the UK with branded oxygen (DDs Delightful Devon Air) slogan being “you feel debonair because you’re breathing Devon air”

I’ll sound him out about FabRats though, good about; I’ll sell it as a “empowering female rats and building self esteem” though.

You are rarely 2 foot away from a rat. They are being seen more because they aren't feeding from resturants etc

other than household pets or foxes, they have few predators & breed like feck, i'm not surprised tbh.

I don’t think I’ve seen a rat in years. I did see a fox sniffing about in my garden a couple of days ago, before it gently trotted off.

I kept as still as a statue when I noticed it. Why do we always get a itch whenever we’re trying to stay still??

"I don’t think I’ve seen a rat in years. I did see a fox sniffing about in my garden a couple of days ago, before it gently trotted off.

I kept as still as a statue when I noticed it. Why do we always get a itch whenever we’re trying to stay still?? "

Last year when I was out on a walk I saw a fox run across the road into a field. The strange thing was a couple of seconds later a hedgehog ran across after it

Priorities ET, priorities. There are no rats on the moon. Perhaps it was the only place they could conduct experiments in a rat free environment.

"I normally see a small mischief of rats when crossing the bridge over the river nearby at night.

They normally scuttle away as they see me approaching, but syndromes just sit and watch.

They don't bother me though, I've got two pet rats. Lovely, intelligent and really clean little things. Taught one of them to play fetch with me recently

I wouldn't go near a wild rat though, same as I wouldn't go near a stray cat or dog."

I used to have one called philip! He was adorable! And so clever! X

Rats are a massive part of the food chain they have plenty of predators in the right habitat but not so in others.

So what you mean is the rat population is growing because humans can't be bothered to clean up after themselves? Who'd have guessed?

An interesting fact is that a human bite can be more dangerous than that of an animal, as our mouths contain more dangerous bacteria than most animal's.

As such, a bite from a human is much more likely to get infected with something nasty.
