we at k&o pest control have been doing lots of jobs lately in dulwich for rats,in one job alone we killed 8 of them in the space of 2 weeks and this job is still on going,another job we killed 2 of them which came into a ladys kitchen though the waste pipe near her sink,

i would like to offer advice to all people who read this,

have a look around your outside of your house look at all vents see if there are any missing or broken

look at waste pipes and any pipe work coming into your place see if there are any gaps round them

boller flums look to see if they are tight to the wall on the out side

down pipes should have covers on them at the bottom where that meet the drain also caped at the top of the gutter to

go in the loft and turn light off to see if any light is getting in block it rats and squirels can get in

the best stuff to use when filling holes/wire wool(a must)expand fome,quick dry cement,3mill wire grill,hard wood,

please understand to stop rats getting in do as we say and all is well

if you do need our help please call

Luxury.


I once counted twenty one, of various generations, outside my kitchen window.


On a farm, not in ED, I hasten to add.


Farmers had to poison them. I used to lie in bed at night listening to them gnawing through the floorboards beneath my bed.


Oh happy days.


One died in an inaccessible spot beneath my hut aka home. The smell was indescribable for weeks.

OMG this is karma for being rude to Colin.


I thought I had mice. Nice quite small harmless things, occasionally running about a bit, occasional squeak.


Last night something large clawed beneath my bed (near my pillow, AAARRGGGHH) for ages, and it didn't go away when I banged on the floor. Twice. It sounded like it was scritchy-scratching and gnawing underneath the carpet and it sounded much bigger than a mouse.


I had to turn the light on and sleep all night with the light on.


It could have course have been the return of the ghost cat. But it sounded more like a RAT :))

Don't be too scared Sue - it may actually be a mouse! The mice that live under my fridge sound absolutely HUGE - but when they pop out they are teensy tiny country mice. Really, not even as big as normal house mice. I feel like a real creep when (on the very odd occasion) one of them is stupid enough to get caught in one of my traps... more normally they just eat my poisoned grain (I think they're immune as I've never found a dead mice and they never go away)... it's a shame when pests have to be so cute... they don't even poo anywhere?!!! Maybe they are escaped gerbils?

Whatever it is, I'd rather it didn't sound like it was about to gnaw its way through my floor then burst onto my pillow in the middle of the night in the dark when I'm by myself :))


Thing is, emilydrab, thanks for your positive and supportive post, but I have actually lived in a place with rats, which did indeed gnaw through the floor, and the farmer had to put metal plates down eventually.


They also built little stores of food in my kitchen cupboards, eg moving chickpeas into the box of teabags, which in a way was quite endearing but also possibly not something you want to encourage :)


Stupid thing is, I did encourage them, they used to swing off the bird peanut feeder (this is absolutely true), I thought they were squirrels until I saw they had rather thin tails for squirrels :-$


I felt like the Pied Piper, I can tell you


Edited to correct drunken typos :)

There was a recent ' Mouse Iradication Day' thread a little while ago ( actually probably some months back) when the poster made the sensible suggestion that if the whole area made a concerted effort to irradicate mice all together, it might have a sustained effect. There's been a thread on this in The Family Room very recently.


Let's face it, vermin is a local problem. I for one have seen rats in the park by Sainsbury's and have killed many mice in my house over the years. I don't know if we're more vulnerable with most of us living in older housing?


Perhaps we should make a more concerted effort to do so?

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
