Had a package for our next door neighbour for over two weeks now, it appears to be a wood turned item and they clearly don't need it. Rubbish bin (not recycling, neither allowed) are still out front.
Yesterdat we heard scratching, myself in the basement (in the walls, the shared wall) and then our kitchen and this morning my girlfriend found two turds in the kitchen. Hooray, we have a rat. Went outside and it had dug up like 2 cubic foot of clay from under chalk stone and burrowed a hole out of under our patio. Next door? Fag ends everywhere, littered with cut down Ivy and piles of upturned soil. So a rat has a burrow in their garden and now it's in our walls.
Bet this guy is going to turn out to be a banana split, pretty much guaranteed at this point as no response to notes from another neighbour or myself or my girlfriend about their strawberry floating parcel. So if they don't even want their own stuff, how are as to expect help with a rodent problem?
Edit: finally collected the package and introduced themselves and just been away for 2 months abroad or whatever. That's fine. So thankfully not a gremlin type person like myself but who doesn't give a gooseberry fool.
Loads of Diy type work powertools in the recently bought property on the other side, which is fine, they should make it their own. But it was empty for an entire year so rats could have dug up the foundations and moved in, now they are running away like nope strawberry float that. Thinking again the shared wall was the other side so the investigation continues. I like rats, it's not their fault but they can be bloody grim when they start shitting everywhere in cupboards and dying, rotting and generating hundreds of bluebottles emanating from your skirtings, cupboards and other nooks, especially if you lay poison
. There's nothing that can be done in that instance than wait for them to rot away. Had to deal with it at my mums. They come up from the valleys and in this case the river Ouse that runs through the town, as it does through London.
