Good heavens! What a problem to have
I'm imagining thats a lot of scrabbling about on the floor too ... have you got a kneeler? Have you got a transparent plastic bowl or something to catch the vole in? Good luck xx 2023: the year I get to buy a car4 -

Glad the new fridge freezer is up and running. Mine is really quiet too which is an improvement on the old one. Hope the vole has made its way outside, it’s surprising how they can squeeze through the tiniest of gaps. My friend’s cat once brought a moorhen through the cat flap, luckily she managed to rescue it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
