our cat is a brilliant mouser - outside, and then she brings them in, lol. She's probably a deterrent in the living quarters for the nasties, but we still get them in the attic in the winter and the cat doesn't go up there. Help is only one phone call away.

My cats take their presents in for me too, but I was thinking of the even smaller nasties - where should I be looking for those and how do I get rid of them if I have them - and by all accounts everyone has.  Would the Diatom earth work, and is there any point, would tehy just come back again?  What do they do to me if I do have them in the house?

don't worry about them, Annie, especially if you can't see any! Woodlice are where it's damp, I find them in the shed, silverfish like it dark, like under carpets. I just throw anything out, no need to kill it. SPiders eat flies, even if their webs can get a bit unsightly. I wish we had a maybugs! I only ever found some as a kid and kept them in a box. They are so rare now.

I have a couple of frogs. One is a wee red one and lives mostly in the greenhouse. Usually in the shade of the trough planters i have in there under teh shallots or in the "seed tray" that is filled with water and has a couple of courgette plants sitting in it in a pot.

then there is a darker brown one, he is usually to be found in the raised beds - under the carrot leaves - but of course there is nothing up yet, so he is in the dock leaves that are growing around my raised beds.

I'm wondering if these guys are the ones that are keeping my slug and pest problems down?

Good effort if they are!!!

luckily wee Fella doesn't like them - he's had a wee lick of them, but not interested otherwise!

Woodlice and sliverfish are very commonly found in houses even modern builts, Don't worry about them just chuckem outside for the duck/chicken to eat if you don't like em in the house.

Well the mouse man has come arround just now and declaired with all the bate that was in the traps that has now gone they would have been killed by it.

Which in one way is sad but inanother way i am happier nowing the house it mice free.
Now to hunt the wholes and fill, fill, fill ,fill ,fill, fill to stop the bugger getting in again!!!!
