I live In the country and my house has a field behind it, for the past week I’d seen droppings and assumed I had house mice but then I actually seen the culprit in the bathroom the other day, it had a short body, was darker in colour and only had a short tail.

I have bait boxes down as I had a terrible experience with a mouse infestation a few years ago in my last house and don’t want that again, it has definitely been at it but is still coming back as I put a bit of biscuit or whatever inside to attract it and it is always gone.

No damage to anything, do not sure what’s going on but want rid, I think it is coming in through the opening in the back of the toilet so need to figure out something big enough to cover that!

Oh apart from it had kind of shredded my bathroom door a bit at the bottom, could hear it the other night it was so loud but obviously disappeared every time DH went to see what it was chewing at. Found the pile of sawdust the next morning!

A vole.
Probably a field vole.

@florascotia2 best way to deal with them? Are they destructive? Isn’t it the wrong time of year for them to be coming inside?
