Little bstards had me awake last night running around the loft. All baited up now but prob a day or 2 of sleepless nights before they die off. Temp has only dropped a touch and there're in already!

 

Used to work next to tip in StHelens

We were over run with mice

Put about three huge tubs of poison down one evening

Next mornng it had all gone

Later that afternoon some were coming round, running up and down inside the walls next to my desk ---- horrid

 

Went on for weeks

we used to lamp them with a .410 and maglite great sport, remeber one of the funniest things was at college after we'd been shown how to set whip snares for rats some of the lads decided to try them on an old established rat set on the college farm, overnight me and my mate went and found some potatoes with suitably long sprouts on them to make it look like a tail, drew eyes and whiskers on them and put them in the snares, they never did catch any rats with them but the air was a bit blue when they found the taters :laugh1:

I'll be super grumpy if it's weeks! Not good with sleep depravation!

 

High winds tonight, so that'll be Beech nuts rattling off the roof, mice in the loft, baby waking up....

 

Already getting grouchy at the thought of it.....

 

Where's the single malt!

That's a beefer Geoff!

 

Did you use the ferret to catch em?

 

She flushed them out of their holes, the .410 & a terrier did the killing, she was a sharp Gill, & loved her work, & the terrier was a nice quiet one, the .410 didn't get much work, but was good sport nailing the odd rat the terrier didn't get to.:001_smile:

The rat in the picture I seem to recall was taken with the gun, hence the back end being mushed up.:biggrin:
