Here's a question. If the trip in one of my lighting circuits this morning was caused by a mouse trying to eat what it shouldn't (within the first floor), is the mouse likely to be dead now?
Given the wiring layout, I don't have any even remotely convenient way to discover if it was a mouse, but no bulbs have blown, and I have had my usual seasonal issues with mouse ingress this month (from the fields, to our wood shed, to the eaves of our dormer bungalow, and into the first floor under the boards).
I'm going to continue with my efforts at blocking entry and trapping any that get in; just wondered whether I'm likely to need to concern myself with this particular (conjectural) rodent any more. Bearing in mind that you can apparently kill one in an electric trap with a couple of batteries (not that I've tried anything as technological as that).
Cheers
Richard
