This winter (2014/5) mice are proving much more of a nuisance than they have in the past with mouse droppings in all parts of the house. An ultrasonic mouse repellent is on order but until it arrives please be extra careful about leaving food out and wipe down surfaces to get rid of crumbs and other food scraps. | |||
Thanks to Dominic, we have had a [http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/ Mosquito Magnet] shipped from the US and with high hopes that it will alleviate the midge problem.
