That time of year again

It's more likely to be rats in the belfry, possums

The Age reports on how the onset of winter means rats start moving into the roofs of Melbourne houses.

It's exactly the same in Brisbane. Sitting at the computer the other night, I heard what sounded like slight roof tile scrapping. I suspect it was my first visitor of the season squeezing its way in between tiles.

Time to bait the ceiling space again. Pity this causes them to die and decompose there too...

When I hear the scratching in the ceiling I like to pretend they're possums.....

Rats, *shudder*.........

I find domesticated rats cute, Richard. Very cat-like in their grooming. But the wild ones can't be trusted.
