andco   10 #8 Posted May 11, 2007 Sheffield Environmental Health are required to attend where rats are concerned and my goodness me dont there seem to be loads around On a more serious note it's not the same storyt if your talking of mice or other vermin where the Council will/does charge.  Found a dead rat in the garden a while back and we were required to leave a note in the public hall, ensure our neighbours knew of it & then the rat-catcher came back a few times to visit.
