    Could it be some kind of insect or beetle like death watch beetle? I've never heard them myself so I don't know how loud they are.

    Next time you go in the cupboard, have a look in the corner and see if you can see anything that looks like this:

    Surely it is just pork scratchings?

    I think it must be a full moon tonight... :D. Well I have opened the cupboard door and if any zombies, critters or pork scratchings appear I shall wallop them with a broom!
  • Mrcow, you are getting worse!

    Does anyone remember the 'Borrowers' books by Mary Norton? Perhaps it is them.

    Pineapple, do let us know if you find the answer, otherwise we will be worried that Mrcow was right.

    Next door told me that their cat had been staring at that corner... Anyhow I went out and bought a plug in vermin repellent - it's both ultrasonic and reckons to send electro magnetic pulses through the wall. First night on, I heard a momentary noise - then nothing. And nothing since. But - probably coincidence - but darn spiders are appearing all over the place! :eek:

    It is the right time of year for them to start appearing anyway, but if it's one of those that works for bugs too, they might be fleeing from it! YUK :eek:

    There could be real big 'uns in those hollow walls :eek::eek:
    Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness.
