Funny enough I saw K&O pest control on my road today and thought to myself 'Oh no , not mice again !' Being as its a terraced house road and no doubt it will pass through my house, lo and behold two hours ago I just saw poo in my kitchen , big poo. Please tell me my worst fear has not come true and its not rat poo ? Sob.

I agree that mouse droppings look like chocolate sprinkles and I should know - we've had them down the back of our sofa for months now - ewwww! We tried so many things to catch the blighter(s): poison, humane traps, sticky boards - I watched one night as the mouse exited the hole in the radiator box where he was living, sniffed around then jumped over the sticky boards we'd laid down...


We finally got rid of him last week with LOTS of industrial strength sticky boards from pest-expert.com, lined up across a doorway so there was no way for him to get back home without running over them.


Bit of a sad end but we'd tried most humane methods and nothing had worked. We spent around ?70 in the end, probably should just have called a pest control person but never knew they could be so clever! Let's hope there was only one...


Good luck!

Sorry Sugarmouse but there is never ever "one", they are always in mating pairs and dependant on whether you caught the female or not, you may have got rid, as the male will move on in search of another mate, but if you caught the male then the female may well stay in situ awaiting the arrival of another mate or even if it has offspring will wait until a male amongst them matures (about 6-8 weeks) and then mate with them. Keep all your stuff down for at least two weeks ( I note you stated last week ) and only then will you be sure.

    • I agree. Internal rifts and factions will be music to Farage's ears. McAsh wrote something not long ago about how the centre and left need each other. This government is far from ideal but we need some stability not a far-left coup.
    • This new party might do nothing more than serve Reform victory in the next election - there is no mood for a far-left party (as 2019 aptly demonstrated) and taking votes from Labour could be a nightmare for the whole country. But Corbyn has only cared about himself and his ideology - once a backbencher, always a backbencher.
    • The fragrant Nancy Birtwhistle advises this spray on site of urine/faeces to deter canines: 200ml water 50ml vinegar 30 drops peppermint extract or oil Put in spray bottle, use daily for a week.
    • Reading this sort of stuff - it's tiring. It's a weird focus on marginal English politics instead of the mainstream and instead of UK politics. How do you use 4 ex-Labour MPs getting elected an example of a supposed trend but ignore the election of 411 Labour MPs in the same election? How do you waffle on for several hundred words about the prospects of new left parties without mentioning what's been happening in this area for the last 20 years in Scotland and Wales?
