Help! Dead rats in the garden!

Supernova

...my water butt at the end of my garden.

Smells quite a bit and probably been there a while.

How do I dispose of this thing properly? I'm in NW London.

I would bag it up and bin it. Either get a big plastic bag scoop it up and turn it inside out and seal or get something to scoop it up and then bag and bin it

Blimey!

I was slightly worried about the water contamination and various diseases associated with rats. Should I be?

Thanks

contact environmental health dept and ask them. They should be listed in your local council's web page.

seriously though I think you should contact the council they will give free advice on what to do and maybe identify if you have a serious pest problem:eek:

In all seriousness.... yes

Be very careful around rats. Ask the council as recommended above and I wouldn't advise using the water in the butt
