Wee Furry Beasties - The Follow Up



After about 10 days, our humane trap in the attic wasn’t having much success so unfortunately we decided something more drastic would be needed. We weren’t going to put poison down because if the creature left the loft and then was eaten by a cat, the cat would suffer as well. Plus we didn’t want it rotting in the attic. We bought 2 very strong rat traps, so now we had 3 traps up there. Nothing caught after a week but a couple of days ago we found a dead lérot. Richard checked again today and bingo, the humane trap had something in. When we looked closer, the beast in question was a rat. We took the cage down the road and released him in the ruisseau. I hope that he doesn’t return.



I do wish that the lérot had managed to find this trap!
