Well
as you may know or not ive been having a few problems at home with a rsj in the lounge which is now sorted and previously i laid a block paving drive out the front, and a indian sandstone patio out the back, oh and a lintel in the kitchen and venting the loft space as it was all getting very damp....
oh and doing my full time job as well...
all of which i managed to do myself and the mrs that is on our own, with a massive input from you lot on here, so a big thanks to you all for your help and advice top stuff...
The problem we have now is we have a rat that keeps trying to get into out house, and it has succeed in the past but we have since had pest control round who have laid bait.
tha bait has now gone a few days ago 3 to 5 days and this morning we heard it again trying to get in but it was unable to but we could hear it knoring away at things, im quite concerned about it as we have cables pipes and what not under the floorboards.
Now im a firm believer in trying to stop them getting in under the house at all let alone into the house.
whats my best options to try and stop this we have tried traps and such things but to be honest i want to stop them or it completly if i can.
Now short of pouring a cemment base into the bottom of the house whats the best way to go forward please.
i would like to point out that when i done the driveway out the front i did lay a new water mains pipe into the house and also the gas board did come round about a year later and ley a new gas pipe into the house.
so im guessing the first place to look is under the floor boards around the pipes...
whats your pointers/advice/tips on this please
many thanks simon
