Tee hee David! Row D is clearly the mouse Place To Be (but not at the moment, thank heaven). 

 




Glad you're free of them. It must be a real pain. The worst we ever got was in our first c'van. On the way to Provence, we pulled over in a aire over night. As we were winding the legs up, I noticed a motorway of ants crawling up the c'van leg. On inspection they had got into the bottom cupboard of the kitchen unit. That held us up for about an hour, while we completely de-anted before we carried on with the journey - managed to get rid, fortunately, but I always carry any powder in the van now, and any sign of ants we put ant powder around the corner steadies and jockey wheel.

I like mice - but NOT in the kitchen cupboard!

I have 2 sonic mouse deterrants, a cheap one which is kept in the conservatory, and when that didn't work an expensive one in addition in the kitchen. I must have deaf mice because they still came into the kitchen, and I'm up to about a dozen or so caught in a humane trap and relased a good few miles away.

So the next attempt was to fill any tiny gaps around pipes with that foamy stuff that goes solid, they ate their way through that. I'm about to try the clove oil and peppermint trick, on cotton wool left beside where they have most obviously been.

We shall see...
