Re: Covid Vacs
We used to have field mice around the place until our cat decide they were fun to play with.
Looks as if they have all moved away, but did see next door speaking with a pest termination company the other day.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Hi Keith rates eat right through plastic. I had some rat poison in a plastic pail. They ate right through the lid to get at it.
They had already eaten what I had put out.
They will also eat through any plastic pipes you may have, in search of water. Or maybe our Canadian ones are just tougher than anywhere else.

Hi Des,A mechanic friend of mine was telling me about rats in your car.He found that a lot of car owners*didn't know that they were carrying*an unwanted passenger.Most modern*cars have a filter under the glovebox.That is where they nest.He showed me some photos of nests that were found.So be careful out there.You wouldn't want a rat on your lap while driving on the freeway.

Dennis maybe your rats are not tougher than ours, perhaps our plastic pipes are tougher than yours though, as never had a rat chew through the pipes we put out

Re: Covid Vacs
Back to the Topic!
Had our Jabs and except for a slight sore Arm the next day we both were quite well, a bit of a funny feeling for a while but nothing of any serious nature!
So now await our second one in August!
Cheers
Keep the Rats get rid of the Cats! LOL

Re: Covid Vacs
My better half had her second vaccine today so that is us both had 2nd jabs.
Just keep it in mind Doc it takes nearly 3 weeks before your immunity really kicks in so still remain alert.
