RetroGTAndrew Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 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. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proton Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited August 19, 2022 by proton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokAlan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Just googled there are a few pest control companies in Samut Prakan who would deal with the issue for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited August 19, 2022 by nikmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 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 . regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroGTAndrew Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 @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.

Andrew 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 . regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
