    To be fair I’ve been out this morning and looked all under shed and around my garden and no obvious sign of an infestation . Also read that unlike mice, if you see a solo rat it can just be passing through , so not panicking yet . If there is an Infestation, it willl be next door , it’s like club Tropicana for rodents in there . Tried knocking so they can have a look , not up yet . I’ll try in an hour when their daily subway lunch gets delivered. .

    If you own your home up here you pay for the service,not sure about Hull Council though?

    Easy enough to do it yourself if it comes to giving them £80 or whatever it is.

    This is what my council says, ****s them...

    The council does not provide any pest control services and has no legal duty to do so or to treat infestations of pests. The only statutory duty the council has is to serve notices on the owners or occupiers of properties or land that are infested, requiring them to get rid of the infestation in […]

    ERGONOMICS
    A few days of doing that, sat in that position, will inevitable lead to back/disc/nerve problems.
