    You have a rat problem. It's almost entirely not related to anything that National Grid did.

    Hire a decent exterminator and if you get one in a trap that isn't dead, do the proper thing and bash its skull in. I had to do the same thing the other year and whilst it wasn't pleasant, neither was letting it die slowly over several hours after its neck was broken.

     I want the cowboys they used prosecuted.

    No one will get prosecuted.

    TBH, you have nothing that links your issue to the work done, unlike your neighbour. But even then it's very tenuous.

    Rats are a widespread issue in many area's. We have a field behind us, & often see rats around the bins. Even with 2 dogs.
