I’ve worked out our rat problem. The unit next to ours sells
a lot of cheap food which is unceremoniously shoved off trucks onto the ground
outside until they’re ready to bring it into the building. A lot of it is
unpacked at speed to take onto the shop floor as soon as a space becomes
available for it. The odours and mess that remains attract the rats, and
because they’re hungry for more they decide to enter the building in front of
them. Obviously they can’t tell the difference between the two units so they
just look for an easy access point. They’ve managed to dig a tunnel underneath
the security shutter and up through the tiles to the other side. Having a bin
for snacks placed directly next to this spot didn’t help. We quickly discovered
that they acquired a taste for Play-Doh because of its distinctive smell
and we had to damage a few sets off and move the rest to safer ground. But the
distance that the rats could cover to get to these products was both remarkable
and fearless.
