Totally gutted

Found van covered in mouse droppings when went to shut it down for the winter....Have since caught one using a trap......It has been living in a jacket under one of the seats at the front of the van....It has been using the same area to pee in like a cat does floor really wet .....Buttons have been shredded but main seats are intact .....Have phoned Bailey who can  no longer get the material used and to replace full seats will cost between £3500- £4000, Have a industrial cleaner coming tomorrow to deep clean sofas and carpet...can anyone help with buttons?

Totally devasted was stored at a local farm when we spoke with owner afterwads he told us he keeps traps in his horse boxes which sits next to our van how lovely of him not to tell us!!!!

can anyone help with buttons?

i would buy a plain material to suit the one you have.you will need a very long strong needle which are hard to find.

Is it true that you will only get them in the winter whenthey need a nice place to sleep. I had one in the bulk head but have never had them in the van. i am sure all the holes at the bottom of the van are blocked so i cannot see how they can get in. also i have 3 yes 3 sonic rat bleepers in the van 1 at the front 1 in the middle and 1 at the back.
