[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 6762573, member: 86972"] No, you (we) need to know what they are. Most inspectors only want to see something plausible in the box, and would stop looking at this point. If pressed during the inspection, our verbal answer would run something like this: Our LA does not require us to dispose of them in a particular way. They aren't livestock, so no need to use fallen stock disposal. Most die in their burrows, so cannot be disposed of. Any that are seen to die outside their burrows, are buried, so end up in the same place as they would if they had died in their burrows. Realistically, what we actually do if we find a dead rat is poke it down the nearest rat hole with a stick, then fill in the hole. Buried, job done. Just as if it had died in its burrow. [USER=55784]@AndrewM[/USER] has given a good model answer, but that would be a rod for our own backs here: I'm not digging a 1m deep hole through chalk to bury a rat; we don't have a metre of subsoil; we don't have any field drains (the chalk does that).
