It’s well and truly on after the night I had. First there was some commotion in the attic, like they were holding a rally up there. I took no notice and said I’d tackle them with a few traps in the morning, but next thing there was ructions under my bed. I jumped out and flipped the bed but no sign of him, just some chewed up papers. I could be dealing with a stealth mouse. I’ve the floor scattered with traps now so I’m confident I’ll catch a few. Must be the time of year for them again.
:o
Chewed up papers sounds more like a rat

Hardly, sure he’d no way in or out, unless he parachuted in the upstairs window. It’s a divan bed base so there’s only a small space under it. They used to get in through the en-suit last year behind the jacks but I plugged that and it doesn’t look chewed. I can only assume the culprit is still in hiding in the room, in a shoe or something. I’ll be going Gung-Ho on this lad later.
They’re probably nesting in the base of the divan. Did you check that?
Ya gave it a thorough check, no holes or tears and I shook the shit out of it to wake him if he was in there. I’m fairly sure he’s in hiding somewhere in the room. I did a quick search behind the drawers and shelves this morning but no sign. I plugged in one of those high pitched sound things as well this morning but I wouldn’t be able sleep with it on.
:o
Yeah its deffo rats.
Those high pitched sound things are useless Bring a pitchfork and a hurley up to the bed with you tonight and declare all out war on the bastard before she starts reproducing. [quote=“TwoRunnyEggs, post: 627255”]

:lol:
i think you need to speak with chewy and organise to get lohan down on hire for an evening.
Lohan is a studn dog and too valuable to be going at that craic, i will send Messi on hire alright, she is a vermin killing machine
Thinly veiled “Lohan is a soft touch, and the rat would probably make more shit of him than the pinemartin did”

I had a running battle with one for a few weeks recently. Eventually I replaced the cheese with a bit of salami and hooked the skin of the salami through the spike on the trap. Mouse tugs salami - SPLAT.
:o
I have a spaniel and a cat but sure they’d wreck the place. I’ll burst him with a belt of a boot if he breaks cover. I think I need to nip this at the bud and counter attack in the attic first. A flame thrower and napalm should do it.
I think I posted here about the mouse myself and Julio chased around the house last year.
Eventually I stamped on the fat fucker with my foot and guts went everywhere, but then I thought the “guts” looked a bit odd and examined them closer. It was actually loads of little mouse featouses (sp??) (baby mice).
