Thank you. I feared this would be the case. I will follow your advice to try to dter them. I suppose I can live with them as long as they don't run over my foot again!!

Having invested in several bird feeders I love to watch the antics of the birds in my garden - even the pigeons! However, I am becoming overrun by rats - one even ran over my foot in its haste to get out of my garage - uugh! We have had the council, but Roland and his merry men just keep coming back...
