That is my worst nightmare, how awful.
We live in a vitorian garden flat which has had a mouse problem in the past when my hubby rented it out. We got the council round to advise us and we went round the house stuffing wire wool in any holes we could find, including under the kitchen units by taking the kick boards off. We were told there was no sign of anything and the traps they laid were not touched.
A few months on, just the other night we were woken up by our cat sniffing really loudly by one of the wardrobes. It could only have been a mouse... We took the bottom drawer out of the wardrobe and lo and behold a little mouse... The cat was on to it straight away. It ran across the room, both me and my husband jumping around, and found its way behind the other wardrobe!! After moving this wardrobe out the cat was able to get behind there and deal with it for us
We had no idea how it got in. We had some things from storage back earlier that week and thought it had come from there. I was getting ready the following morning and discovered a hole (tiny) in our ceiling rose. It must have fallen through there onto our sleeping cat who was directly underneath, as he sleeps on the blanket box at the end of the bed!!
Thinking back I did see the cat looking at the ceiling in the living room and could hear the scratching he was hearing. They must be living between the floor/ceiling. We got a pack of those sonic plug in things and put one in the bedroom, living room and cupboard under the stairs. No sratching or crazy cat since!
IF ANYONE DOES DECIDE TO GET A CAT, PLEASE GO TO BATTERSEA DOGS AND CATS HOME. THEY ARE WONDERFUL AND WILL MATCH YOU WITH THE PERFECT CAT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THEY WILL BE NEUTERED, MICROCHIPPED, HEALTH CHECKED (SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LETTING YOURSELF IN FOR), HAVE A MONTHS INSURANCE AND WILL BE FLEAED & WORMED. WE GOT OUR CAT FROM THERE AND HE SETTLED IN A TREAT.
PLEASE DO NOT GET FROM ANYWHERE ELSE, THERE ARE TOO MANY CATS THAT NEED HOMES WHO HAVE SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE. HIGHLY RECCOMEND
