 Rat Runs - Bromptonaut
No this doesn't belong in motoring - I wish it did.

Making tea this morning my eye was drawn to a movement on the veg bed. A very large brown rat going back and forth between SWMBO's brocoli and somewhere behind the wheelbarrow & compost bin. No evidence of permanent presence but there's a small area of smoothed soil under the fence between us and next door. There are a few clearly visible droppings as well. Some similar flattening around the plants where I saw the blighter. I have a feeling it's running back and possibly hiding up in next door's summer garden furniture/BBQ etc which are under tarpaulins on their side of the fence.

I'll pop round and have aword when Mr next door is home but in meantime can anyone help with how to identify rat runs and the best way to deal with them before the establish a commune!!

As ever, thanks in anticipation.
