Seagull thread coming next

The emmets down here have learnt how to keep them away.  They throw them food, so they are well fed.

(expletive deleted)ing morons.

 

(I do find it funny when a gull takes a small child's ice cream though)

Because they get their living where? Not at sea as the fish are gone. Other than your pies that is. Landfill sites?

You could try the aforementioned cement additive.

Not enough cement available.....and I'm not willing to share any of my pies, or pasties for that matter lol.

 

The government do not seem to want to help to get rid of the 2 or 4 legged/winged variety.

Personal injury ain't! My son had a bad cut to his thumb, as the fecking things beak was like a breadknife. Just imagine what that can do to a face. My pack of 2x16 slices.....when I looked at it properly, the beak had gone through the quite thick plastic, and through 14 of the 16 slices!!!! Even with me running towards it, it refused to let go of the pack until I was less than a metre away. And even then it just sat on the ground screaming at me to give up the goods. ffs. 

 

My hand was on its way to my mouth when that large gull put its head between my hand and my face, and plucked my steak bake out of my ninja like starving plumber grip, and with zero noise or warning.

 

These things are out of control and are not scared of humans any more. Genuinely intimidating to be walking around trying to eat something in the open in town tbh.

Definitely check all drains and sewers, remove all inspection chamber covers - look for any evidence including droppings.

We once had a problem because someone that came to unblock the drains left the cover off the bypass pipe to the u bend in the sewer. I put it back and used a piece of wood to ensure they couldn't push it out again. Also check all the chamber linings - we were told they could gradually scrape away mortar etc to make openings, even digging under concrete slabs.

Putting the poison blocks down worked. You will know it is working when you get a plague of flies, but you need to stop them at the sewers.

 

Get a parsons russell terrier - our much loved parsons sadly died 3 weeks ago.

Looks like the rats have finally gone or at least taken a break! God it's been a nightmare and cost about 3k+..... New bathroom, sewer valve, traps, poison, Christ knows how many rat men......gaps blocked, trees pollards, grease on gutters and downpipes....the list goes on. Chickens still there but for now peace reigns!

There has to be a way that they are getting into your property. Cavity walls ? Internal holes that pipes go through ? I got some now banned poison from a retired, old boy rat man. I put loads of it in the ceiling where the buggers were. I mean loads. My daughter had 6 months of complete peace...... Then they came back. If they are getting into your house, then there is a route, and an internal hole letting them in. Find the internal hole.

Like Arnie in Terminator.....They will be back...... I repeat. Find that hole. The only way to stop them, is to block the route. Best of Luck. They are discusting, and i can't blame your tennants for not being willing to put up with them. I removed 27 nests from One ceiling.
