foofing hell! He is huuuuuuuuuge!
Do you leave any tidbits out for birds/foxes/ other wildlife? If you do, stop it!! and make sure any any openings to your house are covered - including ensuring your toilet lids are down...or you might get an unpleasant surprise when having a tinkle and Mr T will become a house guest
I'd call out the pest control guy again...or get a large spring trap and load it with peanut butter.... if you buy pellet stuff from the garden centre etc, they only eat it and then crawl off somewhere to die and they can be very hard to reach once the smell starts

Did anyone ever watch life of grime with that man who had a stick and spoon and loved twatting them over the head

some friends of ours had a cat that was going ballistic due to somthing in the undergrowth, i went to have a look 
**** it was a mahhhhooooooosive rat, and nasty with it, it kept sqeeeking and going for the cat!!
eventually it made a run for it and went hopping doen the road,
size wise i,d say a lot lot bigger than a small cat!!!!!
Oh and just to focus your thoughts, they rarely are a single item!!!!
