I do have rats in my garden ( well did my neighbour has poisoned them I think) I don’t kill them but have a humane trap if I catch any I drive them miles away and release .
I love seeing peasants in my garden !

I don't mind the pheasants, although they are 'bred' in this area there are not that many of them compared to pigeons. Not too sure about 'peasants' though, I don't have any of those (which I assume is an innocent but humorous typo).

You let the common folk wander about in your garden? Do you drive them miles away and release them in poorer neighbourhoods too?

Re: My dog killed a Rat

Several days ago I saw a rat crossing our path, recorded on one of our security cameras.

I haven't seen it since. I suppose that cats make quite a good deterrent, so it (and its family?) have probably decided to move on.

I placed a board on the drive covered in Gorilla Glue, I then put bread on top of the glue.....

A pigeon flew down for the food and adhered itself to the glue...
I can't kill anything, so I used Maddie the cat's traveling box to contain the animal while I drove the 300 miles down to Basingstoke, where I released the pigeon.....

It beat me home and was sitting on the lamppost outside our house when I arrived......So it's going to have to be plan 'B'.....

I'm selling up and moving to Basingstoke......
