Just asking to gauge opinions.
We had a plumber round last week to fit new pipes for our utility rooms. Few days later, I'm hearing loud scuffling sounds at night coming from the ceiling of our kitchen extension. DH says it's just birds/squirrels on the roof but I'm not sure. Didn't hear much Monday but wasn't really home. Last night all hell broke loose. DH in bed and I'm downstairs with my newborn DD in my lounge. I can hear the scuffling sounds again from the kitchen and this time from the walls too. So loud. DH not too fussed as they're 'not in the living quarters' and not convinced it's vermin either. I freak out and say I'm leaving tomorrow to go and stay at my mum's who lives in another city. DH reluctantly agrees to take me & DD. He thinks I'm overreacting but 'if I think it's for the best then that's fine.'
I've organised for pest control to come tomorrow so we'll know more then. Told DH he has to wfh or take the day off and I've scarped (I didn't wait for DH and have got the train instead). We're currently doing work on the upstairs so have exposed floorboards + holes in the skirting boards where we've updated the electrics. I'm just so worried about rats coming into our bedroom from these spaces. DD is only 12 weeks old.
AIBU to run away from this rat house and leave my husband to sort?
Current working hypothesis is that they've come in under the decking via the new drains.
