Decomposing mouse: Carpet offcuts urgently please


pjal

Recommended Posts

Hi there

A mouse has escaped under our floorboards, died and is now busy decomposing. The noxious smell is rising into understairs cupboard as it is the only area of exposed floorboards.


We need to cover the cracks and carpet seems the obvious method - thicker the better.


Any other decomposing mouse management tips welcome

Thanks

This time of year there should be no problem with Maggots / Flies.


Smell can be over-powering but should fade after 2-3 weeks. Will dry out quicker in the summer.


I used to have a real problem with mice but now use the high frequency plug-ins.

Very few mice over last few years. Just the odd one here and there.


The plug-ins work best in areas with hard surfaces.. i.e. Kitchens. I have 3 units in my kitchen but my kitchen

is 18-19 ft long.

    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.  
    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
