DulwichFox Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Have seen a couple of Live rats in my garden in the last couple of months. Found a Dead Rat in the garden this morning. with 100's of maggots. Was going to leave the maggots to do their thing but did not want 100's of Flies getting into the house. I have poured lots of bleach on the corpse but need advice as to what to do with it. Can a dead rat be double bagged and put in the green Bin. ?? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226855-dead-rat-found-in-garden/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
diable rouge Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The Council collected a dead fox from a neighbour's garden, not sure how they view rats though, perhaps give them a call?...

I don?t know what religion would go in for bleach and the green bin though? Was it own-brand bleach from the Co-op? At least they?re in the right line of business. For future ref, most of us are ratafarian. We like to wait until everyone?s peckish, then we roll a fat one and gather round the deceased. Not when she?s been bleached like a 1980?s mullet though! What a waste of good maggots! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226855-dead-rat-found-in-garden/#findComment-1340340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Cremate it. If you have a garden you will have things to burn. Make sure dry and a warm stillish day so the flames go straight up and you don't get the garden bonfire police onto you (my neighbour would burn damp grass cuttings, that covered the whole area in acrid smoke). Conditions today fine. Thanks for the distraction from my task list.

TheArtfulDogger Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 WTF you two Sounds like tips for mob members to get rid of dead bodies Now piggies, they will eat anything Brick Top: I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig sh!t, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig."
