Actually, it reminds me of the Faulty Towers episode with the rat.

Painful, but very funny.

Spunky's just "sleeping." And Faulty Towers was a great show, but you Brits sure do have weird sense of humor.

I loved that show.

I would say that british humor is more sophisticated than american humor and comes in more varieties.

I still love to watch a British comedy, but they're hard to find, as they typically don't do well when shown on American tv... they only do well once they've been dumbed down and translated into an American accent.... pretty sad.

Default Steel wool. Mice and rats will not mess with that stuff. Any "mouse" ...

I found some mouse droppings on our old SUV (ML430) awhile back during winter time. It wasn't fun cleaning out the engine bay.

Paint peanut butter on coffee can such that can is balanced and rolls freely around the wire axis. Pour a gallon of anti freeze mix into the bottom of the pail. Place pail on the floor against a wall in storage location, with wooden ramps leading from the floor up to the lip of the pail.

VIOLA, dead, pickled (no smell) mouse trap you do not have to empty.

Works like a charm. I have caught over a dozen in my two barns since I set it in early November. Try it!
Nice, this is a good one.

Mice by me are small and grey. That thing should have a collar!
