🫒 Olive oil soap... apparently it’s not just popular with people!
These tooth marks were left behind by rats after they gained access to a property by chewing through the flexible connection to a WC. From there, they moved into an adjacent property and helped themselves to a bar of olive oil soap.
🐀 It’s a good reminder that rats will chew and investigate almost anything when looking for food, water and nesting opportunities.
Our plan now is to eradicate the rats within the affected properties and assess the installation of a one-way sewer flap to help prevent rats from leaving the sewer system and entering buildings in the future.
