Define "survive".

Beyond about four floors drop onto concrete, even if they land on their feet, their head carries on.......

Smashed jaws, teeth, and worse:eek:

As said, further down the thread, I said it depends on what they land on. In the case of concrete the most common injury is a smashed jaw as they tend to headbutt the hardtop.

Got home tonight and Mrs M was flappin' like a goodun. She'd heard a 'snap' in the cupboard followed by a lot of scrabbling. Yep, I’d caught another so I had to take him out and release him before my tea. I just took him up the road a bit, crossed over and let him go in the bushes.
 
Update: I had another brace around 10.00. I’ve just checked and there’s already another one there. All being released well down and across the road. IIRC we had 6 around this time last year - I might be on for a personal best. :mrgreen: Mrs M is starting to panic now - she thinks that sack of flour I bought for a quid up Sainsbury’s a few weeks ago that I’ve stood in the corner of the kitchen is something to do with it but that’s not been touched - by man or mouse - don’t know why I bought it really. (n) She’s read something about about peppermint oil soaked on cotton wool balls keeps 'em away so she’s off to Holland and Barrett tomorrow. Spoilsport. :rolleyes:​

Nothing this morning, both traps empty. At least they appear to be sticking to the rule of 6!
 
Sounds like a real infestation...

'Birds of a feather...'? :)

So says the rat who chooses to remain on the 'sinking ship' lol.

Well, they've left now - wouldn't get on in your house would they? They might squeak that they were leaving but still be there years later.....:)

Well, there’s been no sign of them for over a day now. Whether that’s because we only had a family of 6 living there and I’ve evicted them all or whether the peppermint infused cotton wool balls that Mrs M put down has deterred them. Who knows? Main thing is, they’ve gone. Until next time.......
 
That 6 was just the advance scouting party, the hord will be along later :)

Indeed they wouldn't...

They tend to search out their own kind :)

I think we've established that there is no choice about it...

But congratulations are I believe in order...

You've finally acknowledged that the UK is a sinking ship - well done! (y)

So, I’m a mouse? Yawn.
'Sinking ship' is what you think of the U.K.
Why is there no choice? You were waiting for your sons exam results weren’t you? Didn’t he get any?
 
I know, but he still felt he had to wait for it. Personally, I think he's running out of excuses as to why he didn’t leave. Or delete his account as promised. ;) I think he'd rather hint at the mysterious reasons for him not being able to leave as promised. After the exams excuse, no specific reasons are ever mentioned as he will trip himself up. As far as I know, there isn’t a ban on bulls hitters leaving the country is there?
