I’ve had to put poison in the loft sadly, just in case. I live in a terrace house and the lofts aren’t properly sealed off from each other and we think a house a few doors down has had rats and it’s made it’s way down to us. My neighbour has been doing a loft conversion and we think they’ve maybe disturbed it and that’s why it’s started coming into our loft/walls. My neighbour has actually seen it in her kitchen, but there’s no way for it to get from our walls/loft into our house because it’s all sealed. We are hoping now that my neighbours loft conversion is complete, that they won’t get back through as we are the end terrace.
but we have put poison down in case it is trapped on our side.
