Snails - Very nice with butter, parsley and garlic. My first flat was described as a 'garden flat'. For once the estate agent was not bending the truth - it's not particularly pleasant to stand barefoot on a slug when getting out of bed, or to find a slug trail across the pillow. Ended up resorting to using salt as shakeandvac. Here we have a dormouse problem - they live in the loft and over 5 years have eaten through most of the insulation, not to mention a few lighting circuits. The ceilings are wooden so we get woken up by scurrying claws running around just above your head - nothing better for freaking the kids out. I refuse to kill them - not only are they very cute, but also becoming rarer and rarer. We've stuck some ultrasonic devises and wind chimes up there top try to encourage them to move to the empty house next door. Yes, we do have a cat, she's scared of them! Not only that but she persists in bringing us live mice as presents and dropping them so that we can have the fun of chasung them round the kitchen and poking them out form under the cupboards with broom handles. She's starting to do the same for our neighbour so local popularity stakes in decline. In a similar vein, said neighbour thinks we're potty because we always leave spare room shutters open so the bats can roost. Sorry this is longer than intended.
