Hello,


We seem to have a large family of mice living with us.


Seems the best way to convince them to move out is to have a cat in the house, but we don't want to commit to owning one.


Could we look after your cat while you go on holiday and save you the cost of a cat-sitter or cattery?


We have a garden but no cat flap. Someone is in the house during the day though, so your cat could be let in and out.


Please get in touch if you think we could help each other.


Thanks,

Shol

Recommendation for pest control - To say I was sceptical was an understatement due to hardly any reviews for Superproof. How wrong was I! They have just completely mouse proofed my one bedroom flat. Which took 9 hours!! They go round every room with a fine tooth pick. Filling all gaps and holes. I have a mice phobia and was planning on moving house after seeing 4 mice in the space of 2 days. It's now been a week and absolutely no sign of the little pests. Best money spent in a long time. More expensive than your average pest control but you can't compare the two as they are completely different. One lays traps and focuses on poison etc etc which I wasn't really keen on as I have a dog and didn't want anything like that around. Also traps work to a certain extent but why use traps forever which in the long term would cost you more than one off superproof payment, when you can just stop all entry points? Can't recommend them highly enough. As I said I have a phobia and was paranoid so they arranged for another member of the team to check the areas and reassure me that all entry points have been filled. I can now rest well and know I won't be seeing them again! And if I do you have a 1 year guarantee so superproof would come back at no extra cost. That's how sure they are about their service.

Hi, cheers for the responses.

Pugwash I'm sure you're right, perhaps a house cat would be better suited for our purposes. We did actually do this before about 5-6 years ago, looked after a friend's cat for a bit, and mouse-wise it seemed to do the job, until recently.

Phlox that could well be a good notion, I will look into it.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
