Hey Lads, Upon waking up the other day and getting my morning brew i notice a massive tear on my warburtons bread packaging, first thought, a burglary! Checked the main door, windows, etc; no damage. Totally bamboozled why would someone steal half a loaf of bread and then leave?!?

Next morning, saw loads of pieces of my pan mat all over the kitchen table, my thought OMG i may have rats! To confirm my suspicion layed some flour all over the kitchen floor that night.

Next morning saw tiny feet prints near the boiler area. Went to look under the boiler and saw a opening showing a gap between the waste pipe and wall. The wall had some tiny hairs on it, they looked brown (not sure). Went to toolstation that day, bought some expanding foam and filled it and all the other gaps. Layed more flour down to see I've block the rodent coming up.

Next day saw tiny feet prints.

After doing abit of reading i should have used wire wool with expanding foam but i can't remove the foam as its solid and i can't get leverage to remove it as there is a cupboard in the way which i think its stuck on the table top.

Now am stuck what to do, aren't getting pest control in Glasgow cost an arm, leg, and may also one of your kidneys? I live in the 3rd floor flat with a attic soo am paranoid that it they will be there or they chewed through the foam and living below me. Any suggestions?
