Justice Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Too me it's certainly starting to look like a re-run off the 1930's I suspect we are still only at the beginning and look at all the names that are already falling. Time to get down Tesco's if you have not already done so but watchout for mice getting at your rice/pasta reserves , they got mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall you had it stored in the attic ... always problematic I'd have thought. Maybe you could poison the little blighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skint Academic Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I used to store all my grains in a box on the kitchen floor when I was a student. I didn't realise that a large rat was eating it. There was a hole in the inside wall under the sink and the rat would scurry inside the walls and get its way into my kitchen. I actually think it came into my room when I was asleep once as I was awoken by a large rustling sound of something trapped and a carrier bag falling over. It also used to nibble on the carpet in the corner. It's definitely somewhere to be aware of when I try to store enough food to last a year. It was really difficult to kill as well. The only way I finally killed it was with rat poison. I then always left some out and checked it to see whether another rat had returned.

We have rodent prevention officers to avoid that sort of mullarky and very efficient they are as well! (They also kill a few too many birds as well).

Yes I like this bit Very good on crackers, but Thais do not generally eat crackers. Because obviously eating crackers would be disgusting wouldn't it ...

The mundane can be pretty apocalyptic sometimes. On the rodent killing theme - my Dad used to kill rats and rabbits with CyMag - which to those who are uninitiated in the mass killing of vermin is Magnesium Cyanide. When mixed with the slightest amount of water or even damp down a rat or rabbit hole it emits large quatities of cyanide gas He used to use it quite legally and was sold by most farm shops. Problem was that if you got one whiff of that stuff up the old nostrils and it was goodbye for ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
