Last week I found evidence that a rodent had been in my dry food store cupboard. The mdf back panel had always been loose, but a hole had appeared at the loose edge. Some of my packs of nuts and seeds had holes in them so had started to spill. I believe I caught it within 2-3 days. There were no droppings. I cleared out the cupboard and made sure everything was put in storage jars. I also taped up the hole with strong packing tape.
Now, 5 days later, the hole is back! It's approx 10 x 6 cm, so I'm concerned it might be a rat rather than a mouse. What do you think?
In the meantime, I'm off to buy some metal sheeting to glue over the hole! 😬
