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?

    • Here is another article from the excellent Special Needs Jungle (SNJ) with tips for responses to the SEND conversation survey. Including shoe horning in EHCPs which they "forget" to ask a question about in the conversation. And living as we do in Southwark with the huge misfortune of 100% academy secondary schools, some thoughts on this and how unlikely inclusion in mainstream is within the current education landscape. Closing date 14 Jan 2026. And please consider a donation to the excellent entirely run by volunteers SNJ. In my view the government could save money by creating some smaller mainstream secondary schools for kids who can cope in primary school but not  with the scale of secondary, and need a calmer less busy setting. The funding would have to be different - it is currently on a per pupil basis which favours larger schools. But it would undoubtedly be cheaper than specialist provision, and the huge cost to individual children and families (emotional and financial) and to society. https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/tips-help-complete-governments-send-conversation-survey-law/ If anyone wants to take a radical step to help their struggling child, my tip is to move far away: these are the best two schools I have ever visited and in a beautiful part of the country. I only wish we'd moved there before it was too late for my son who had to suffer multiple failings at Charter North and then at the hands of Southwark SEND, out of education from February to October in year 10-11, having already suffered the enduring trauma of a very difficult early life, which in combination with ADHD made his time at schools which just don't care so very unbearable for all of us. https://www.cartmelprioryschool.co.uk/ https://settlebeck.org/ As an add on, I would say to anybody considering adoption, please take into account the education battles that you are very much more likely to face than the average parent. First you have schools to deal with, already terrible; then being passed from pillar to post within Southwark Education, SEND, Education Inclusion Team, round and round as they all do their best to explain why they are not responsible and you need someone different, let's hold another multi-agency meeting, never for one minute considering that if they put the child at the centre and used common sense they would achieve a lot more in much less time without loads of Southwark employees sitting in endless meetings with long suffering parents. It is hard to fully imagine this at the start of your adoption journey, full of hope as you are, but truly education is not for the faint hearted, and should be factored into your decision. You'll never hear from people who are really struggling and continue to do so, only from those who've had challenges but overcome them and it's all lovely. And education, the very people who should be there to help, are the ones who make your lives the most hellish out of everything your child and you face.
    • It’s a big problem all over London. I’ve seen it happen in Kennington and Bloomsbury in the last year. I think there has been some progress recently with some key arrests, but you do need to be very careful when walking around with your phone out, especially, as you say, if wearing noise cancelling headphones. Sorry you experienced this 
    • Luke Johnson (prominent director and co-owner), supported Brexit and backed the Vote Leave campaign. He also described the response to Covid as ‘a campaign of fear’ and 2020 funded a media consultant for the ‘Covid-recovery group’ of anti-lockdown MPs.
    • I'm a bit of an architecture geek and I must confess I find it one of the most gimmicky ugly redesigns I've seen in a while. I'm always open to quirky but this is just not nice in any way shape or form.
