When we reached out in the pantry to surprise our toddle with a chocolate bunny, we discovered it with tiny teeth marks and it’s head gnawed. Definitely a mouse!
This is the first time we noticed something like this. Luckily our 4yo didn’t mind the mouse getting the treat but we’re obviously not to keen on the company. Think they might be nesting in the garage (it’s an old rental so not the most sealed basement and garage) and we think we see some droppings there 👀
Any ideas on what we can do? And leads on pest control options in this lockdown? Should the landlord be looking into this as well?
Thank you and happy Easter!
