Hi,

As in the title, does anyone have contact details for a Snake / Reptile catcher in Samut Prakan? We're quite near to the 'Robinson Lifestyle Centre' on the Sukhumvit Road.

It appears we have what is probably some kind of lizard in our bungalow roof space and I'm too fat and old to go climbing about above a suspended ceiling!

When we were here at the beginning of this year we heard some scrabbling above the ceiling it but it sounds louder / bigger now, pretty sure it's not squirrels (never seen them around here) or Tokae (we've had Tokae outside before and would hear them calling), could be rats I suppose, but sounds heavier than that.

Family reckon they've seen baby water monitor around so probably it's grown a bit and could do with removing.

More likely rats by the sound of it, we have them in the same place. If you can get up there spray with rat off and put poison down. They can make a lot of noise.

Just googled there are a few pest control companies in Samut Prakan who would deal with the issue for you. 

as said before, sounds like rats. they sound surprisingly big when they scrabble around in the middle of the night. 

 

We got a cat who sleeps on our bed. never heard a peek since

 

Every rainy season we get the tree rats coming into our ceilings

to keep dry , we use those sticky traps , while not humane ,we

are dealing with rats , chewing wires , they can make a lot of

noise, one night it sounded like there was a couple of Yorkshire

terriers running about. just put some sticky traps up there , but

keep a check on them as dead rats stink if left, I use peanuts

as bait .

@worgeordieBy 'tree rats' I guess you mean squirrels?

If it is squirrels I'll be surprised as all the times I've been here I've never seen any and we've got a big Mango tree in the garden where I've seen 'Gingaa' (a small lizard/iguana) before.

No they are a species of rat that lives in trees , they are bit smaller

than Rattus norvegicus , the common brown rat , so when the rainy

season starts they move out of trees into roofs of houses or other

dry places, they can jump from adjoining trees onto your house, we

only get them in down stairs ceilings  .
