Spiders

Spiders I can live with, but the fecking mice arrive this time of year.

I put down one a couple of those sticky mouse traps, the one where the guys feet get stuck and he cant move. Anyways, It caught a whole lot more spiders than it caught mice. Ratio of about 47:1.

I hate those wee bastards of mice.   
Though I see the neighbours have got themselves a cat, hopefully he'll be good for something!

Slugs in the kitchen are a common problem - just put some salt on them, 2 rounds of toast and melt cheese over the lot.. Mmmmmmhhh! Also the feckin mice at this time of year are a pain. Came down for a drink of water last night and this one was on the bread bin. Big bastard! Must have been a full 10 inches with a long tail and 2 big teeth. Bastard! I can take an infestation of cockroaches in the house - even in my bed and the fridge - but those big mice are shites.

that might be a rat...

Take it from me, it wasn't a rat! It was a very big mouse! - anyhow I think it has been eating the kids' Weetabix as I saw teethmarks - any wonder it's a biggy?  Anyhow we back onto a river and rats can't swim, so it's a big mouse...

[Puckoon]

Are you serious hurler? Rats can swim plenty.

[Hurler on the Bitch]

Hey! Puckoon, I know my rats! Unless the feckers have rubber rings then I'm very much mistaken. It stands to reason. RAT and SWIM - none of the letters in the first occur in the second - so it's logical. Anyway, there was a rat lying dead in my toilet two weeks ago so it's obvious that the bastards can't swim!

Never hear of Water rats?

Seriously sounds like a rat

Because he'd no where to swim to and probably died of exhaustion trying to get out.

Correct! Maybe it was the toilet that killed him. I wouldnt fancy swimming through your crap - its hard enough wading through it here!!! Rats cant swim he says. Just google it. I can only speak for the ones I work with, and they can swim. I dont like being right.

[Hurler on the Bitch]

Trust me ... Rats cannot swim... How many rats do you see in the local swimmers? None! I rest my case.

I don't mind mice, its the rest of the family who think the plague is on the way. We have loads of field mice trying to come inside for some winter warmth. Get them at their favoured point of entry on the outside. After 20 years experience, the number one bait in the trap is chocolate, they'll die for it, they'll form a queue and can't wait until you clean out the last victim before lepping in themselves. You don't even have to clean off the blood.
The problem I do have is when they get into the car, they like the glove compartment and eat anything in there. They'll chew the seats. The problem is when the wife is driving, going beserk that she can hear the mice colony squealing (for the heat to be turned down) but still has to carry on driving cause she is always late..
Never use poison inside a house or car in case they crawl away somewhere and die.

Where in the name of Jesus do some of you live?
