Oh it's so horrible isn't it. We used k&o pest control. They were good. They also have a shop in penge- if it happened again I would just go to the shop next time and get loads of poison and bait boxes and put them all over the place. That's what they did and it worked within two weeks.

I tried everything - including K&O and also the plug in. Nothing worked permanently. The exterminator recommended getting a cat as the best possible permanent solution. I like cats but my partner had never been that keen but feeling downtrodden with the mice and hearing the recommendation from the professional he agreed and off we went to Battersea.


BEST THING WE EVER DID - the cat caught a mouse in her first week! Her scent and prowling of the flat is clearly a deterrent and we haven't seen any sign of mice since her first kill so it's a pretty humane solution (except for her first victim but at least it was a natural death - hopefully over fairly quickly). Partner has been won round and likes the cat and our son is happy to have a pet. There was an item about the Foreign Office adopting a cat and apparently many old government buildings have cats because they are the best and most effective pest control/mouse deterrent there is.

    • Do you have any binoculars?  My first ever sighting of swifts was when I was lying in the park, trying out some 10x25s.  Nothing at all  within plain sight, but when I was playing around with the focus -- presumably for clouds or planes -- suddenly there they were.   I've still never heard any in real life though.  The sample I heard on the BBC website sounded fairly high frequency and not very loud, so I suppose I might miss some; but then there have been precious few reports I've seen here of any being heard.  The only one I remember is Jenny1's last year. 
    • None of that makes any sense. Rumour and vibes-based governance...   Meanwhile, thanks in part to the NIMBY tendencies of certain councillors, 23 London council areas saw 0 (zero) new housing units under construction in Q1 2024. Pitiful. About 724,000 (net) people moved to the UK in 2024, a sizeable chunk of them to London. The already high demand for housing is increasing, and the supply isn't changing at all. Rent prices (and therefore taxpayer funds paid to private landlords through Housing Benefit) are going up...and new housing units are objected to because they're "visible" and because a fear that rich foreign students will live there. 
    • Lots of hoverflies (that look like drone honeybees) about today. Also, tiny (< .5cm) bees/wasps 
    • Posting for friend. Both missing since Thursday eve. Last seen in back garden on Soames Street, their garden backs onto gardens in bellenden road, avondale rise and copleston road. Gladys went missing a month or so ago and I know she was chased by a large black and white cat and again he is back in my garden and now both my cats missing. They are both chipped and neutered. No collars.  Thank you.
