Scaredy cat

Just had a call from the follow-up pest control man, who has reassured me that rats very rarely pop up in sinks and toilets, but he has seen it twice.
He is going to come round for the next three weeks to check, and has given me his number in case of a dead body or another visit!

All this for just £10.
Three cheers for Cheshire East council, for once a really good service.

No, he was serious, but that's what I thought. It could still come up the toilet though! Yuk!

How will it get through the grate lona I think he was pulling your leg

Just had the council pest control man round, as last Friday I found that a rat had visited my corner kitchen cupboard, where the central heating boiler is fitted.
It may have come from next door (new extension) and the drains seem clear, but he said if it gets in the pipes, IT MAY COME UP IN THE KITCHEN SINK OR BATHROOM!


I thought that was an urban myth!

I am silently freaking out.

Daddy long legs - DGD3's description "one of those big spiders with wings." so that's why they are scary?

Yes. Sook home and missing that little chap so much already .

Spiders[shudder]

Hee hee glass, I'm sure it served him right!

Spiders no problem but a moth or daddy long legs and DH is a basket case and I have to come to the rescue.
We had a daddy long legs in the bedroom the other night and I my feathers were still a little ruffled over a comment he had made earlier so I let him think I was asleep nasty I know

Tanith are you back from Gibraltar so soon?

I'm not frightened of spiders in fact I quite like them . It is mice that fill me with horror, even the smallest one looks huge and threatening to me. I have been known to lock myself in my bedroom on threat of a single invasion

I've posted before about DD2, in Leicestershire, phoning us, on holiday in Scotland, saying she couldn't come out of her bedroom as a HUGE spider was on the landing waiting for her!

My sister's SIL was doing some gardening work for her and came screaming into the house in a panic HELP - There's a killer slow worm in the garden, I'm not going out there until someone catches it!!!

My DDS3 is absolutely terrified by maggots. He wouldn't walk past the bin last summer to help his dad in the garage because there was a maggot on the lid. I didn't tell him what was in the bin

Mine is the same on holiday, any cockroaches and he is an absolute baby.

As for your second post I thought you were just bragging.

That reference to the 'longest thing' by the way wasn't meant to refer to any appendages
