The rat surfaced in our boiler cupboard, where we had some flour and bird feed stored - have removed the food sources and yesterday I mortared the hole - they have already gnawed through it.
The extension is fully built, but these early photos help illustrate better
The red circle is their entry point, due to a gap in the brickwork (goes over underground pipe) the render is weak
They probably go through the cavity wall and under the suspended floor boards in the old part of the house, and come up on the other side of the wall in the boiler cupboard
Added slabs and mortar on the outside, have to go via neighbour for access - but i suspect they've already gone through the mortar/or around it.
Both the neighbours and we have dogs.
What would happen if we dropped roshield poison down the boiler cupboard hole and mortar it up again? will they drag it out to where dogs could get it?
