The Rat Diary

One woman's battle against "those who would also live in my house".



13th June 2009


How can you tell when it’s the beginning?

You see, I didn’t know this was going to happen so didn’t write anything down at first. I’ve started this rather late really, so will have to try and remember what has gone before.

Various scuffling noises heard in kitchen, also occasionally in our back room. Possible evidence of rodent activity by the radiator in the back room, ie bits of wrapping paper turned into confetti. Sometimes noise of central heating pipes rattling as though something is running along them – this can get quite loud.
