Dear Neighbours’
We appear to have been receiving some unwelcome visitors in three of our Trinity Fields Gardens .There is evidence that rats have been found.
A Rural Service Agent has now visited the gardens in question, and steps have been taken to eradicate the vermin humanely. This may require a number of visits.
However. we need to ensure that they are unable to breed across Trinity Fields.
The Environmental Agency highlights the following as reasons for sighting rats in the garden and we need to ensure they don’t have a supply of food and water .
1. Stop feeding wild birds and animals.
2.Keep the garden tidy and ensure all rubbish is kept securely .
3. Move things around
4. Block access to decking
5. Block access to garden buildings or any areas where they can live out of sight.
6. Protect your compost bin
7. Remove water sources (check for bite marks in hose pipes)
8. Check for burrows and droppings in your garden.
Please be vigilant and advise if you have any sightings. While Trinity Fields Management Company Ltd is responsible for the communal areas, your gardens are your responsibility and we can only advise.
The Company being used to carry out the investigation and removal of the vermin is Sussex Rural Services: Mel Hardacre 07539899080
Kind regards
Paul O’Brien
