Praying for me; I want to move to a new home and start a fresh life. I am currently a tenant in a house from the housing association, and I have been living here for 12 years. My neighbour lady named Shelley's big dog bull terrier named Shelley Ann Vale's dog was always barking at me, and while a giant rat was in my kitchen at home and I was screaming and shouting, a rat ran away to the entry point under the cupboard in the kitchen. I can't live here on Courtenay Road due to a rat.
 
I will pray for God to provide safe, affordable suitable housing for you. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.

U must tell your housing association and your local council , rats r a public health hazard . Try to block the whole up as best as u can until the housing association send someone out to do the job properly . U have to nag these people into submission in order to get them to do some thing . B polite but very firm , tell them u will go to the local press etc , polite but firm and persistent . It will b ok 🌼 . U must get in touch with your housing officer , may God bless u ❤️

You can buy electrocution traps for rodents. From my experience they work pretty well.

Rather than add poison they spray to your home, I would consider a solution that should cost around $5 or so.
If they are going to spray to kill rats, the toxin won't be good for you to breath. Bait stations aren't an issue though unless you have small children or pets.

A church I used to attend had mice.
I offered to get rid of them for free.
The pastor preferred to spend a lot of the church money to hire an exterminator that sprayed along the baseboards around the church, including the auditorium. The members could always tell what week of the month because people all over the church were coughing.

1 Large Rat trap
1 Packet or jar of the cheapest peanut butter
Set it under the cupboard and check it daily.
When you catch it, offer it to that worthless Rat Dog that barks at you as a friendly treat .
Perhaps he will become your friend instead of barking at you.
I hope so!
😊🐕

I do not have any children or pets at home. I live in a tenant house from a housing association in London. I do not live in the USA, and I live in the UK. I am currently living in London. I hope the technician could spray to kill the rat or any block.

Lol 😅 It's very funny: "Perhaps he will become your friend instead of barking at you. I hope so!"

My neighbour next door, the lady, has a big bulldog. If a dog is barking back at a rat.

After your pest control finishes, seal around every pipe or wire coming from the outside and every hole on your walls, floors and ceiling. Make sure that there are no holes in your duct work. I used expanding foam.

Make sure that all your drains have working traps.

Place sticky traps along the walls.

I pray that you are successful.
