A picture of a rat clinging to a clothesline in a Soroba garden as it tried to get to a bird feeder prompted a response on Facebook.
John Muir: ‘This three-weekly uplift does concern folks putting waste food in bins…bag it and bin it…chucking waste food unbagged into green bins does cause rats and most of all MAGGOTS!!! Don’t moan…get together and help with the problem as young kids could get serious infections…so come on people of bonnie Oban…bag the waste foods and bin it…keep your community tidy and SAFE.’
Peggy Baker: ‘Putting food out for the birds encourages rats – birds can find their own food.’
