Another bloody mouse
This follows on from a post I made back in November, whereby I found
evidence of a mouse in my loft, which was duly trapped and disposed of. After about a week I hadn't caught anything else, so assumed that was that and removed the traps. Anyway, couple of times over Xmas I thought I heard something, but upon checking, found no evidence of anything else. No droppings, no gnaw marks anywhere, no musky odours. But after DEFINITELY hearing something in the early hours the other night, decided to put the traps back in place. After about a day, low and behold, caught another bugger. This is rather troubling. Surely if I had another mouse up there all this time, there should be evidence of it? Also, what are the damn things living on? There's no food up there. As I live in a semi, I'm wondering if the buggers are in next doors and sneaking across. I shall be having words with the neighbour shortly. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Its obviously one of these new fangled stealth mice that have evolved due to all the chemicals and wifi we now use. Also, what are the damn things living on? There's no food up there. As I live in a semi, I'm wondering if the buggers are in next doors and sneaking across. Very likely and very likely where its ****ting and gnawing too. I shall be having words with the neighbour shortly. You need to go in mob handed a knee cap him. |
