Hi TheArtfulDogger


I have had probs with mice for years. Most people in E.D. do.


You HAVE to kill them. Not nice, but they carry many diseases that can even make you blind.

Not just the poos which you can see, but they are incontinent and pee contiuously.


Poison is not good, it takes days to kill them and they really stink for many days when they die.

They rot and you will be infestested with blue bottles.


Traps are best. They are can be nasty, but generally they are quick. These ones below do not need bait.


I have used the sound plug-ins and they work well in kitchens with hard surfaces. The sound does not

penetrate walls so they need to be located in the correct place.


Traps are cheap. About ?1.00 from B&Q. Sound plugins also from B&Q ?29.00 for 4 (approx)

I really, really hate them. I used to live in Hackney and we were plagued by them, despite living on the 3rd floor. I actually became a bit obsessed because for ages my (then) boyfriend thought I was imagining them. They had NO FEAR at all. It turned out they were coming in up the back of the cooker (I knew this because I hid and spied on them... yep). They used to sit there watching TV behind us aaaaaargh!!


Don't bother with humane traps. We freed a mouse on London Fields, and as we were strolling back the very same mouse overtook us as it ran back to the house. Another time, we came back from a 2 week holiday to find a dessicated mouse in the 'humane' trap.

stew is SO very two decades ago...at least if you watched Neighbours in the 80s they called it casserole...ramsay street residents never seemed to cook anything else.


anyway, pastel coloured, sugar-coated Ms can be found in a local sweet shop. just a thought...

Horrible little buggers! When I lived on Lacon Road 25 years ago the house was riddled with them. You could hear them under the floorboards and you could see them out of the corner of your eye running across the room while you were watching television.

I was asleep one night and was rudely awakened when one decided to get into bed with me. I could feel it crawling up my leg... Aaaaargh! I'd never leap up out of bed so quick all my life. Away with you you pesky vermin swine. Eventually we found out that they were coming in from nextdoor and the neighbours called in Rentokil and thankfully that was the end of them.

Seriously... I think there was a whole colony living in that place. Urgh. Worse than seeing the mouse overtake us as it ran back... oh I can barely write it.... we had cooked oven chips (why don't I eat those anymore?), and after eating dinner I went back to wash up the baking tray and there were MOUSE FOOTPRINTS AND FUR PRINTS in the grease on the baking tray. Aaaaaarrgh. Oh.


[Rocks gently in the corner]. Sorry I'm OK now.


That's how bold they are! I'd say it's very likely the building work is what's triggered your current problem.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
