Your wife doesn't seem to mind. It is your little worm that annoys her most!

Tempted to buy a few 40 kHz 1500 Watt ultrasonic transducers to see them off

Maybe that much power is a bit OTT - They would probably be quite dangerous to touch when active, as the sound intensity would be enough to disintegrate tissue and bone. But I just don't think the silly little battery operated sonic deterrents one can buy in somewhere like Argos would be more than a minor irritant to the pesky critters!

I used to have a pet rat called Snowy. He was very affectionate. Maybe you should try and befriend your rats.

Anyway....finally got round to purchasing some good old-fashioned mousetraps yesterday and set them all last night to see what could be done. Checked this morning and whaddya know? 3 confirmed kills!!!

My thoughts exactly. Understairs larder? Is Shaunbhoy living in Victorian Britain. I know he dresses like one.

It is a Listed house of special historic importance. A national gem, much like me!
