Decomposing mouse: Carpet offcuts urgently please


pjal

Recommended Posts

Hi there

A mouse has escaped under our floorboards, died and is now busy decomposing. The noxious smell is rising into understairs cupboard as it is the only area of exposed floorboards.


We need to cover the cracks and carpet seems the obvious method - thicker the better.


Any other decomposing mouse management tips welcome

Thanks

Hi


Firstly remember


DEAD MOUSE.......MAGGOTS.....FLIES......in any circumstance....if left unattended


contact Rentokill



Lifting the floorboards would be my first choice.....


& as for carpet to cover smell....not a chance,this will work

This time of year there should be no problem with Maggots / Flies.


Smell can be over-powering but should fade after 2-3 weeks. Will dry out quicker in the summer.


I used to have a real problem with mice but now use the high frequency plug-ins.

Very few mice over last few years. Just the odd one here and there.


The plug-ins work best in areas with hard surfaces.. i.e. Kitchens. I have 3 units in my kitchen but my kitchen

is 18-19 ft long.

    • We also just used Paul and his colleauge Damien to replace some fans, fix loose kitchen light, and check smoke detectors.  Straight forward, skilled and very decent guys.  Even tolerated some heckling from the kids.  
    • Went past yesterday there was one man skating. It was a good use of a derelict site, but hopefully it won’t be if Southwark Council  and Dulwich estates sort it out. Compulsory purchase anyone?
    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
