A recent story in the East Grinstead Courier highlighted the continue plight against the persistent threat posed by the presence of rats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRats seen crossing road, swimming with ducks and stealing people’s lunch at Lingfield pond<\/span><\/p>\n

RATS have invaded a Lingfield beauty spot \u2013 and people innocently feeding ducks could be making things worse.<\/p>\n

Gun Pond in Plaistow Street has become overrun with rodents, which are thought to have been attracted by bread being dropped by families throwing it for the resident ducks.<\/p>\n

Lingfield Parish Council has put up a sign on the island of the pond asking people not to feed the birds in an effort to take away the rats’ food source and encourage them to move on.<\/p>\n

But it appears the pests are there to stay for the time being, with residents reporting seeing them crossing the road, swimming in the pond and even brazenly stealing people’s lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
