Our home’s previous human inhabitants were late in moving out – but we’ve discovered some squatters too. The house was sprayed for carpet moth today (loads munching through all things wool with the porch and hall as the epicentre) by a pest control company.
But whilst getting odds of carpet out of the loft for disposal, Husband found rat & mouse droppings. The advantage of finding these whilst the pest expert was present meant that bait could be laid straight away! This does mean though that:
- Can’t hoover properly for 4 weeks due to the moth treatment.
- We must vermin proof the house as much as possible. This changes the “things to do” list considerably!
To give a bit of perspective, the house does back onto a meadow – and from there to farmland – so rats aren’t really unexpected.
