I'm sorry you had animal problems in your caravan @TAB - and of course the management promised to help - also I am not surprised they didn't.

One would imagine the authorities would be concerned about the health issues with rats - but they are not - just get onto a pest exterminator - I was told - but those pesky rats are breeding fast and keep coming back for the bait. 

And today the man putting stuff in my roof to stop possums from getting in but letting them out can't bail the roof for rats - possums are protected - but when the possums have gone - he will come back and add to the rat bait already there.

I could get another cat - I would love another cat - it would be hard though with my impaired shoulder - I can think about it - 

I just had a brilliant idea - that some chemist could invent a noxious spray that could smell like a cat that would deter the rats.

Thanks Tabby Cat - I hope your aches etc. are not too demanding - we are having a lovely day in Melbourne - I don't know about where you are - 

All the best
