"Something nasty in the woodshed"

Her or the reptiles, how did you choose?

oh dear the last thing I want is mice in my shack!

What's even more scary is why I had to give up my collection. It started with a nasty imperator boa constrictor, used to take chunks out of me. That started the wife on the rampage, though to be fair, I had about 40 tanks. One particular day I was pulling the back legs off a box of crickets, stopped them jumping so easier for the lizards to catch, I knocked the box of 250 on to kitchen floor. The bastards went everywhere. The noise for the next week was terrible, we were finding them everwhere. I came home one day with an ultimatum, her or my reptiles.

How are the reptiles keeping now then?

Those were the days, Nothing better than sitting down relaxing on a summers afternoon pulling the back legs off a box of crickets

I had a busy wasps' nest in the roofspace of my shack last year. I discovered it - and many wasps being sleepily prat - on a slow hot day in September as I was happily toking off down there. I decided to leave it as the Winter would see them off. We'll see, but it has been all quiet for months. You don't notice their shit so that's a bonus.

My Dad, God rest his soul, had two garden sheds. Above one of them was an Elder tree with a wasp's nest attached to a branch right above the roof of the shed.

Now my dad was one these guys who would try anything once, but usually his efforts were not successful. Anyway, he decided the nest had to go as he couldn't get in the shed. I came visiting the night he decided to do the deed and found him in the back garden with a Zippo and can of Bel Air hair spray! He used the hairspray like a flamethrower and hit the wasp's nest face on! Unfortunately, the nest then fell off the branch and landed on top of the shed, burning it to the ground! And the wasps weren#t that amused either, as we ran faster than we had ran before, in order to get under cover!

We sat in my car and watched the bastards stunning themselves on the windows in the efforts to get at us!

He was so calm about it all. "At least we got rid of the wasps," was his only comment!

Hooray for dads everywhere!

Cool Dad!

Wonderful!

Wasps never return to the same nest, mice however not so fussy , my neighbours feed the birds and thats a good way to attract rats but if you have them then unlikely to have mice aswell . The traps from wilkinsons are good with a raisin or piece of white chocolate.
