Rats

Keep laughing gemi

If the smell is moving, it may be that something else is moving the rat or it maybe another rat - they often are in pairs.

Thanks all. Either the smell has gone or I am use to it? :eek:


Dan, a bedroom is on the other side of the wall, but it is irrelevant now as the smell moved and is gone.

Maybe the rat starts to smell before it dies and is now gone from the premises. Tis a bit strange, or maybe I am use to the stink. LOL

I am getting my roof re-done in the drier months and will have a big clean out of the ceiling. Can't wait!

Plaster of Paris works well and as a bonus you get a little garden statue for the kids to paint when the carcass rots away
We had a rat die in the ceiling over the bathroom and the first we were aware was when we went into the bathroom one morning to be greeted by a million flies, all came in through the ceiling fan.
That certainly was character building.
A can of mortein fixed that problem.

Does the plaster of paris make the rat smell? I could handle the breeding fly's but the stink.....peeewy.

Apparently they are a normal thing around here. All the houses have open eves, why? We get cold but we get hot too, not like humidity in Darwin where u have to have ventilation to stop the growth of fungus.

Hmm, that unknown Urban Legend - Plaster of Paris was originally known as "Plaster of Parisian Train Station" because of the smell.
