Monday was a nice spring day again so I spent some time in the garden. Planted some daffodils in flowerpots, put up the laundry airer, that kind of thing. When I was throwing out some of last autumn’s dead plants, I discovered a large tunnel in the corner of our compost hole: the opening was as large as both my hands together, and it went all the way to the bottom, so maybe a metre or so.<\/p>\n

I am not even sure if I want to find out what is at the bottom. A huge rats’ nest, probably. I wish I could pour some poison in it but rat poison is no longer sold to consumers so that’s not happening, then.<\/p>\n

My the next step was to unlock and crawl into the crawlspace underneath the house and inspect the mousetrap I put there last autumn. It didn’t catch anything then, so I had completely forgotten about it. It had caught a mouse during winter, so I rearmed and re-baited it. Hopefully it will also catch the inhabitants of that tunnel. If not, I think it will soon be time to call in professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
