Mice in the City

So, my Twitter followers may have heard, I'm having a few mice issues at the moment.

From growing up living at the edge of  a town in Lincolnshire, mice were quite a common occurrence, more in the garage or shed but occasionally inside due to being near the countryside, so I have not been that concerned but being invaded in central London on the first and second floor of a house with mice is a worry.

I wasn't quite sure where to buy a mousetrap, so I thought 'Where's the most deprived area near me?' and just by chance Chapel Market at Angel happened to have them in mass supply, indeed, an entire unit in a hardware store had devices and things to kill just about every kind of pest imaginable! Clearly, we are not alone, in more ways than one.

Within 24 hours I had success, shockingly, two baby mice in one trap... even vermin is on special offer at the moment it seems!

I do wonder however a) how on earth the mice got b) how many more do we have to kill and c) is this going to be a long running saga (especially due to baby mice)?!

I was hoping the issue was over, however, I had a confirmed sighting of baby mouse three earlier this evening, so I put more cheese on the traps and left the living room.

Anyhow, a random blog I admit, and I'll keep you updated... unless I get bitten by a mouse, get tetanus and die... but that is definitely a worst case scenario!!
