Just don't use poisons guys as our poor kitten suffered terribly from coming across some and still has to go back and forth to the Vets who will be in a Maserati before me at this rate.

I have traps and a couple of ultrasonic squeakers fed by the trickle charger supply around the car. Worked in our motorhome, together with peppermint soaked cotton wool in the accessible places.

I forgot about the ultrasonics I have a few of those in there too.

I think they definitely made a difference when I first put them in there, but haven't actually checked if they're still working for a few years now.
I'll check next time I'm in there.

Well I can report that having barn owls in the roof seems to get rid of the rodent problem (and for that matter the Cobra problem) however it comes with its own set of challenges. They screech like zombies, foul the ceiling, cause electric problems, **** on the pavement and wake up the dogs multiple times a night who then feel it necessary to howl.

Ultrasonics are good. Meanwhile we had a prospective client who declined our storage and went for a cheaper option in a barn. Rats got into his brand new Ford Mustang and ate the engine bay firewall. £8K damage and still smelled of rat's p*ss

£5 for a new mouse?

As it happens, I ordered a computer mouse from two separate ebay sellers last week.

One sent me TWO mice in the package and they said they ALWAYS send two 'in case one doesn't work'.

The other mouse from the other seller didn't show up, and they refunded. The next day I got TWO packages, one in my name and the other with someone else's name, with a mouse in each. The seller, when I queried this, replied 'enjoy'. So I have FOUR mice for the cost of one.

Plus the £5 lawnmower-related mouse, obvio.

I’ve never heard of a computer mouse infestation before, but you appear to have one!

Perhaps the seller had been partaking of Eb’s rodent opioid amuse-bouche treats.
