Look what I found while excavating, my wifes first words were; is it dead?
I nearly wet myself

Had one take up residence in our loft a couple of years ago. It was smarter than both me and the council rodent exterminator put together...even tricked me into setting off a trap on my thumb.
The exterminator tried half a dozen traps cunningly arranged but it wasn't until the third different poison we got the little rascal. At one point we considered moving home.  _________________ Due to the onset of my mid eighties I'm no longer sprightly and rarely seen in my Austin special.

This one must have died of starvation I think, it was trapped in the seat bridge.

I'll bet it would not have been a very pleasant car to sit in for a few weeks.

Hmm I can imagine I had a dead one under the floorboards in my house in the UK I know what that's smells like, luckily this one was a husk  _________________ www.OldFrenchCars.com

Hi
I seem to remember Rick hurting his fingers on a trap at one time? I think it included a burn!
We set a trap in a mates shed, turned round to set another and the first went off, it was that over run with the little devils.
Cheers
