As if my green pool wasn't enough, now we have rats bigger than my sneakers running around our buildings and the pool.  Does your condo have rats?

As I recall he got rid of the kids as well - a worthy fellow

But only because they didn't pay him for a job well done.

I read once that in New York City you are never more than 10 feet away from a rat.

 

We have rats come in from the field every time they plough the fields up.

'Rats! They fought the dogs and killed the cats.'

Thanks to Billd776 and Thaibunny for your clever contributions -- a welcome departure from the usual Thai Visa tirades. You have inspired me to update the Hamelin pest (and child) control experience via a Google search, and I'm pleased to report that there is an actual Hamelin Pest Control Company located, strangely, in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico. That's charming. Literate pest control professionals are something the world needs more of. Nothing on their website on what actions they will take if you don't pay your bill; and sorry, Senior TV Member 4675636b596f75, they don't provide services in Thailand.

 

On a more serious note, I have a friend who thinks a lot -- probably more than he should -- about rats, and he tells me that these are field rats which temporarily abandon their customary habitat because of the rains.

What you need my friend? Cats. Big, Shoe-Box sized Cats all over your condo grounds.

 

Fyi.  I've got 4 cats and 4 dogs!  Interestingly enough?  No Rats.

We also have an overfed fleet of cats who dont seem to have the killer instinct!

You need one of mine then.  I call them my lovely, furry, little murderers.

I have not seen any rats although I am sure there must be some. While pets are forbidden at the development I do see 2-3 cats that are on the thin side.I am sure they keep things in check.

That was my first thought when I saw the Title post.   ....

Sorry, I have no suggestions on how to get rid of them. We use the wax bars and pellets but that only works in a confined area........

There was a guy in Hamelin, Germany a few years ago who was an absolute wizard at getting rid of rats. 

 

I am not sure if he is available, but he may be on the internet or perhaps on Facebook or Twitter.

Try a Google search under the surname Piper that should pull up his business information... lol lol

Where I live farm/water rats are a delicacy, and are twice the cost per kilo of pork. No, I don't live in Vietnam/Laos. I live north central Thailand where many families have Lao ancestors.

But some rat traps.  I see the wire metal box traps for sale at many stores.  Or the glue pads.  Google rat traps.  It's fun.   I ate rat near udon thani.  I guess it was a real delicacy.  I grossed out on the tail bits. It was cooked in a stew.   Skin still on and bones.  I watched the road side lady take the rat over to the hot coals and burn off the fur.   I rather eat than insects.  I guess many people set snare traps on rice paddies near harvest time for extra money.   The Forest rats fetch top $.
