 Having a quiet pint in my local today. Some bloke says something to me, from the other end of the bar. Being now deaf as a post, I wander down there to see what he's saying.
Turns out he has a Wood Mouse in his place and wanted me to tell him how to get rid of it.
I get this all the time, here. " Try finding and blocking the hole it gets in through. " was my simple answer. I went back to my beer.
Few minutes later, Another buggers beckoning my down that end. This one had a rat in his roof space, and it's scurrying was driving him crazy. With that ~ no word of a lie ~ his phone rang and he reported that it had just gone under the bed!
Now, I Could have mentioned fetching my terrier. But, that would raise the unmentionable *Cost* of such a service. I didn't bother wasting my breath. We both knew the score.
But, as a 'parting shot', thinking along the lines of Donk's below stated:
" when the fuse blows on your ring main to your home do you feel the need to get out your screwdriver?
Stay safe, let someone else face the HAZARD! "
I trotted out my well practised; " Ye'd best call a professional electrician then. Because, by the time that bugger goes back to ye roof space and gnaws through ye wires, potentially burns ye place down? You'll need a re wire.  "
Here's the punch line ..... He looked at me blankly and said, with obvious sincerity:
" I have no wiring. Just a Tilley Lamp. " 
How's a man meant to deal with people like this? Eh?! FFS!
