You can actually prove that the chickens are not the cause for rats under the neighbours decking.
If rats were attracted by your chickens for whatever reason, they wouldn't stray that far from whatever attracted them.
Weirdly enough, if he does have rats then putting seed out for wild birds will attract them more then your chickens.
Rats wont often go to close to chickens because foxes are higher up in the food chain than them. :) |

| he doesn't have any rats,there are rats about but they are in most areas, not because of my chickens. he's just an idiot. it would be like me complaining to his landlord(but he owns the house) about him building decking could attract a rats nest. some people are just born plonkers sadly |

Does your landlord know you have snakes?
Otherwise that'll be the next thing the neighbour whines about.
What you should've said is that there is NO rat population there, because your snakes get them all.  |

I've heard that decking attracts rats!
Decking provides a perfect habitat for rats to build their homes under because of the dark, nice, space underneath it. If anything he's attracting his own rats by making them a lovely home in his garden. |

This is very very true.
The man is obviously a bit of a pleb, can understand why you are so furious with him, people like that make my blood boil.  |

At least the chickens lay an egg each every day...The cats don't do anything but eat and sleep. The chickens earn their keep...I'd be fuming too.quote:

Bummer.....Thank god my neighbours are cool.....get down the fishmongers get some cheap nasty frozen fish and find a way to get it under the decking when he's out (the furthest end from your house) and sit back and wait for the smell to get him!! Another is maggots through his air bricks. Those swarms of flies in his windows will drive him crazy!! Even better send him a dog turd in a jiffy bag.... ..... Somebody once got on the wrong side of me and lets just say I had the longest and loudest last laugh........

| Lol....I'm a nice guy really, just don't cross me lol....I'm not really an urban terrorist or am I???? lol....I had a run in with this Jobsworth a few years back which really ticked me off.He had the enviromental boys around saying I was keeping dangerous animals etc. And tried to get the council involved to get me evicted.I didn't even know the guy and he wasn't an imediate neighbour either, until he started poking his nose into my affairs. I didn't own my own place back then.It caused a lot of wasted time on their part and on mine....So I made him pay, big time and not long after I moved anyway.......Those flies took him months to get rid of........Muhawhaaaaaaaaaa........ |
