You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

My morning sewing was interrupted by the cat fossicking a wine  box bl#@%dy witch had bought in a  young rat argh... I am not good with rodents that can jump and run. Luckily we have terriers who once alerted were very interested  DH rescued me and closed box and took outdoors and humanely dispatched . I live in fear of what the feline might bring indoors I take comfort that the k9s will alert me if there is something of interest

Oh dear Mica - & so beautifully presented in a winebox too!


I can't stand rats either & apparently there's a move to rid the entire country of them, which would be brilliant but I really can't see how it could possibly be done.

A few weeks after my husband passed I rang Robie told him I could hear chewing in my bedroom wall - he convinced me it was the grapevine rubbing on the house - next night the chewing seemed right by my ear - rang him again and he arrived round with an arm full of rat poison and mouse traps - I th8nk he just scooped up the entire shelf at the supermarket - so he made 12 bait stations and put one behind my bedside table and the rest all over the house and set mouse traps everywhere all the time grinning - first night I thought I felt something jump on my bed thought it was either my imagination or the neighbours cat that used to come visit my husband but when I woke up the bait behind my bedside table was gone - had  great delight in telling Robie - slept upstairs for about 3 nights until the bait stopped disappearing but we couldn’t find it until one of the neighbours said a rat had built a nest in her toddlers cot mattress - so Robie tipped my bed up and there he was

My husband kept telling me not to leave the French doors in the bedroom open so late because of the creek  I learned my lesson

Yuk! How awful, to have it so close - horrible things.
