My daily exposure to nature at this time of year is something I could do without.
Every year shrews will do their best to come into the house from the garden - and once in they get into small spaces between the walls and jump about wearing hobnailed boots.
I've tried everything from humane traps to sonic rodent repellers: the latter are supposed to broadcast on a frequency only the rodents can hear but I am aware of a background eldritch screeching which sets the teeth on edge. The shrews, of course, are immune to such frippery.
So, its back to making sure that only windows without an outer ledge are opened, making sure the door to the garden is never left ajar and then praying that lack of food will drive them out, ether back to the garden from whence they came or to enjoy the delights of my next-door neighbour's property which boasts a crisp-eating (and therefore crumb-dropping) 9 year old.
