Default 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.

Its obviously one of these new fangled stealth mice that
have evolved due to all the chemicals and wifi we now use.

Very likely and very likely where its ****ting and gnawing too.

Until my parents sold their holiday home in France, they had a
pine-marten living in the loft!

It's a risk admitting to neighbours that you harbour vermin. There's
nowt so queer as folk.
