We have removed alot of rubbish and found a nest with lots of babies - disgusting. This has now been destroyed and there is no where left to hide but they are now coming in from next door. I can see where they are digging under the fence. I have just been reading about tomcat poison could anyone tell me where I could get this from?

You need to make sure all your chicken food is put away securely. They will be coming to your garden possibly for the chickens leavings ~ easy food for them. I did a google, but it's an american company ~ maybe they could tell you of a stockist in this country http://www.tomcatbrand.com/faq.html Back to top mojo Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 10900 Location: GLENAY north deux sevre FRANCE Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:42 am    Post subject: whatever you do or use KEEP baiting dont stop when the signs stop Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 16093 Location: Hampshire Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 10:07 am    Post subject: I think fenwoman uses tomcat? (might be wrong though ) We're using Eradirat but so far they are still with us - it's taking a long time for them to go!
