But as you said, at least you're slowing them down. So happy to have moved and left our herd of basement mice there. I hope.

The thing about mice is that there's hardly ever just one. Good luck with trying to deter them. They are quite persistent.

But I also read that Burgundians used to dress their hair with rancid butter so I guess they figured, We've got a smelly dairy product on our heads so, sure, let's have a go at those slugs. <br />Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990041745880166605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-47039859176877793622018-05-04T14:18:57.301+01:002018-05-04T14:18:57.301+01:00I hope Mr. Mouse doesn't chew through the plas...I hope Mr. Mouse doesn't chew through the plastic...Sweet photo.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-22009907079399070502018-05-04T14:03:30.374+01:002018-05-04T14:03:30.374+01:00Well, that may not fit your image of the ideal pho...Well, that may not fit your image of the ideal photo of a garden snail but it's still a really nice picture. <br />I've had mice chew through tupperware. They can be determined. I've got something now in the chicken coop that's slowly eating its way through the lid of a black garbage can. <br />Critters can be persistent.

Then you will be able to photograph him or her or it with great ease. Afterwards you can fry him/her/it up with some mushrooms and then present Dave with a surprise tasty snack.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
