The “Visitors” are back……

……And this time I swear they’re wearing hobnailed boots! After a weekend punctuated by extremely loud thumping from the loft, I phoned Martin, my very cheery pest controller, first thing this morning. He’s obviously got my number programmed into his phone, because he answered it with “Hello Gillian, I was just thinking that I’ve not heard from you recently!” I really can’t fault the service I get for my annual rolling contract – he came around this afternoon to put a load more poison down in the loft. Now it’s a case of waiting for it to take effect, so I’m expecting about a week of disturbed nights before it all goes quiet again. I don’t normally get much activity from the mice over the summer, but I suspect that the downpours we had at the end of last week encouraged them back inside. Oh well, it’s an occupational hazard of living out in the countryside……
