    I took leave this week with the aim of doing things around the house and sorting the very cluttered shed, but the weather has been against me and yesterday I saw a rat going into the shed.

    Not scared of the rat but I’m a bit worried if I disturb it, it might think that coming into the house is a good idea.

        We had a cat up until 2 weeks ago so I reckon she was a deterrent. It was a plump and glossy rat, so getting a good feed from somewhere (shouldn’t need to break in for food).

          Paradoxically cats slightly increase your chances of rat invasion. That whole toxoplasmosis dealieroo.
