We once had one in a city hotel where we lived, after a nearby Biscuit factory closed down. All those mice had to go somewhere to live! The exterminator used to take out buckets of dead mice every 3-4 days.<BR/>The two top floors of the hotel were empty, & on our floor,only our flat was inhabited.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-62261249229416054602008-08-30T08:59:00.000+10:002008-08-30T08:59:00.000+10:00I remember seeing a news item about 10 years ago o...I remember seeing a news item about 10 years ago or so about the plauge of mice in your country.

However, we cannot get at our dead beasts, so nature has to take her time for the smell to disappear & believe me, we have no such problems with our noses!
