All joking apart, if that's true you need to get yourself checked out ASAP.

Seriously - Do NOT leave it.

How are you doing Manda?  Hows the "new year, new you" coming along?

not good y2j, not good.
In my defence, I had bought all healthy stuff etc, but the Avon just behind my house at dangerously high levels, and tho not flooded out, myself and my neighbours have had an infestation of, I cant even type the word, but rhymes with cats. Firstly this has caused me sleepless nights, I am not a girly girl, but am absolutely petrified of the things, and second, my kitchen is lower ground floor, next to the vaults which is supposed to be point of entry, and currently out of bounds given what the council has put down and the likelihood of meeting a dying rodent. I put all my goods (rice, cereal etc) away in high cupboards and in v large rigid plastic containers, everything else in fridge...might as well have saved my effort, they have gnawed through a 2 inch thick wooden door and through the plastic. Nightly I am eating takeaway in my drawing room, and going to nearest bin at bus stop and disposing of all wrappings immediately I finish eating.

When we bought our house it'd been empty for a few months and what we didn't know was that it had gained some extra "uninvited tenants" who visited during the night.

There is an airing cupboard in one of the bedrooms (the one we initially slept in) and on the first night, we were awoken by the sound of scratching and gnawing.

I jumped out of bed and went to investigate.

The noise stopped when I put the light on and I went back to bed.

Only for it to continue for the next two hours, on and off, until I properly went to town, jumping up and down in the airing cupboard and shouting.

The next morning I had a proper look and discovered chewed floorboards and noticed that you could see daylight down at the bottom of the cavity.

It turns out that the air brick had a hole in it and they were getting in through it, climbing up the cavity and attempting to get into the bedroom by chewing their way through the floorboards.

I put a trap down under the floorboards in the airing cupboard and waited for night to fall.

(Mrs B stayed at the Novotel down the road for the night - seriously.)

About half an hour after I turned the light off, the scratching started and then "Bang!" off it went.

(Bit more scurrying then silence.)

To cut a long story short, it was the biggest rat I've ever seen. The body filled the bottom of a Tesco bag and the tail came up and popped out of the top - a whopper.

And Mrs B still won't go in that airing cupboard now, 12 years later.

Get some traps, Mand.

A sustained leafleting campaign could also prove effective.
