Had "The Rat Pack" at ours a couple of weeks ago. They got twenty but looked to be enjoying themselves.

A contractor told me last week he had just come from a farm that had 80 cats! I dont think they had a rat problem, but he said there was cat s**t everywhere.

80 cats, thats hellish, that can't be true, all running wild l beat.

Imagine the state of the place with 700 rats on board . We all get a few, but surely you’d have a plan in place before they got to that level .

Eight terriers kill record 700 rodents in seven hours on pig farm

Pig farmers at a farm near Eye, Suffolk, called in the pack after vermin invaded. It's the biggest haul of vermin terminated by the Suffolk and Norfolk Rat Pack.

Precisely! A food producer with an infestation like that.

If anyone with an appreciation of terrier work wants a giggle, seek out a copy of the autobiographical 'Tales of a Rat Hunting Man' by the late Brian Plummer.

The chapter where he encounters a tinker at the tip, who for 'a couple of bob' volunteers to drop a couple of rats down one trouser leg (tucked into his boots), and a ferret down the other. That book had me in *fits of laughter* ?

Sounds like he could do with a visit from the rat pack too.

One of the leading lights in the Rat Pack is a teacher. It's nice to know that they aren't all bleeding heart lefties.

ratting with terriers and jill ferrets used to a real working class 'sport'......nylon stockings on wire coat hangers as nets for holes......horrible for ferrets though....had to use jills as need to be small but a sow rat cornered was a formidable foe

I've no idea if this is true, but it's brilliant either way:

Many years ago we used to cut barley at a pig farm sited next to the canal. They were swill fed as liquid, mixed in a big tank. There was waste bread cakes and all sorts in heaps about the yard. The place was absolutely alive with rats, they were everywhere, hundreds of the horrible things. We had to bag the barley up from the trailer, and one of us bagged off while the other kept the rats away with a shovel, couldn’t get out of the place fast enough!
