That could be right, because the place I was talking about is just two hundred yards from that track. Actually the last rat I saw was a dead one, so hopefully they've poisoned the ****ers. Couple of weeks ago, near Wilmington Bridge, I saw a big ****er sniffing around in front of me, when a cat jumped out and killed it instantly, really impressive kill that. We need more cats.
If you’re seeing them during the day it means they’re struggling to find food during the night. That usually means there’s a lot of competition for food and there’s quite a few of them in that area.
Mate, I wasn't joking when I said there are thousands of them down there. 20 yards away there's the old Wilmington railway stop. It's now a Cafe. I don't get my breakfast there
Can you please recommend a retailer for the purchase of said rat poison. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
A few years ago renovated a bathroom. An additional job was to find where the rats had entered the house and prevent them returning. Pest control had cleared them out but quite naturally the customer did not want them returning. Once the old bathroom had been ripped out, up came a few floorboards to re-route waste pipes. Oddly there was a 1 1/4 waste pipe going into a bedroom. Asked the customer what it was for, a ripped out vanity unit. Aha, the way in. If a rat can get his head through somewhere, the body will follow. Up the ouside ****ter pipe, turn left at the basin waste and oooh, where does this lead?
Not in the to near distant past , I was walking through Brick Lane and It's surrounding streets in the East End , Early hours of the morning , in a small group. And Lo & Behold , the storm drains in the side of the kerbing , the kerbs are rather high , a foot long " Ginger " almost bright orange RAT appeared upon the footpath in front of Us all. Fair to say , The screeches & shrieks of the Blokes , sent the rodent back into the drain system. It looked like it was mutated & Its hair/fur was , wet obviously , but looked really spiky , almost hedgehog like.
Last year we spotted rats eating out of our bird feeders. We live quite close to a river, the little buggers had tunneled under the fence. The highlight was the cat trapping one up the feeder, the taking it out mid-air as it tried to jump from the feeder to the fence. To cut a long story short we put poison in all the holes we could find and they haven't put in an appearance since. We never saw one in the house though.
The old poison did, I think. This current stuff causes internal bleeding so they bleed to death. And it could be behind your wall, under the floor, ...

In what sense do they 'work'? I ask because I have had it in my house before, observed that loads has been taken, and only seen the infestation continue to increase. For me that's not working, it's useless. If it's killing the ones that eat it but that isn't enough to curb the infestation then there's still no point in using it is there? They have to be stopped from getting in.
I had a rat on a couple of occasions - single-storey cottage and a proximity to fields, so when the fields are harvested, they have nowhere to hide and nothing to eat. My place is rented, and rats/mice problems are paid for by the estate. I asked the pest guy and he said the vermin grow resistance to poison (they eat a bit of bait, are ill, but survive, etc.) and the bait he had was not available in shops. When resistance grows and new poison is developed, the pro's move on to it, and the less-effective poison is made available to retail. Think of it like antibiotics.
