Just seen two little furry bugg4hs out there again.

I'm totally bemused at how this even started. It seems you didn't have a problem then you had a big one with lots of visible furries. In solidarity, I also have a furry lady. She's coming back for visit x3 tomorrow. The dogs were very, very annoyed through last week. This week it seems to be peaceful, so far. I looked at your picture yesterday - I didn't want to but I'm glad I did as they are far cuter than the vision in my head with involves red eyes and dripping fangs.

I just instructed Tepilo to go live with the property listing. I feel physically sick. It doesn't matter that I've done this two dozen times. Mind you, the last two were in 2011. I'm out of practice.

The house is up for £17,500 less than next door (the other half of our semi) went for in May when our house still looked like Steptoes Yard. Zoopla is now valuing theirs at £23,808 more than our asking price. They have a bigger garden because we're keeping our potential plot until it becomes something other than potential. I'm (frankly) praying that we might be able to choose our buyer. Let's see.

In farming its a common time of year for furries to be disturbed.

But doubt that's the issue. It might be someone in locality had a clear up and that's sent them looking for new ground, or the breeding has been good for breeding.


I'd look up and down back gardens I. The road again for any one feeding birds..... You cannot stop them of course, but its worth knowing what you are up against. ( we still feed birds btw)

The trouble is, that's simply not possible. It's not a regular road, residential, straight road with houses.... it's a jumble of pedestrian access only and 2-3 dead ends off a main road, all close together and you can't see into/round or anything.

Ok. Well, I'd certainly tell furry Council HQ that the problem is Getting worse not better and you are getting runs in / out from other properties and reiterate that this does not seem to be just an issue of your property.

If you do it in advance of her visit maybe she'll come forewarned?


They are cute, but nonetheless, they aren't safe and wholesome housemates.

I was just at the end of the shed, peering down the back - and saw one shoot under the fence, round the party box and under the shed. Little bleeder.

Speaking of wholesome, neither am I. I just couldn't resist some beautiful cavelo Nero and had a bowl ful of just that for lunch time. My body strongly disagrees with this as a meal choice.

No idea if those sonic noise things work... but it'd be good if [a] they did there was a solar powered one [c] it cost £5 and was available within 1 mile of here

Edit: If they work then [a] Yes Yes [c] Yes [d] No, but online. £5 to buy £14 P&P

Edit 2: eBay cheapest is £6.50, with free P&P from Hong Kong ... but I'd expect that to be a fake.... I'd want one from a "business" in the UK.

Looks like £20 is about the going rate.... but that doesn't answer the question of whether they work.

No, they don't. Our neighbouring farmers swear by them, which is how I know they don't.

We bought about five, six, and yeah, they don't. I can hear them though, so they make a noise, its just the rodents don't care.

I'd only need it to keep them at bay by about 10-15' ... could it be that your spot's too big to cover? Or do they huddle round it?
