VERMIN OUTBREAK IN NOTTING HILL.

Residents of Notting hill should be on the look out, because there have been increasing reports of mice infesting homes around Portobello road near the Westway/train tracks, everyone living near that area should be on the look out for signs that they may have a problem. This could be serious because they have just appeared and are everywhere it seems.

VERMIN, RIGHT. BEATRIX POTTER HUGGABLES THEY AINT!
There has been a suspicion that the sudden rodent explosion may have something to do with the works being done in and around Westbourne park tube station, but it could equally be the something to do with the many building works going in the area, or the works going on in Thorpe close, as of yet there is no known cause (other than the mice breeding like loons).
R.B.K.C council's health and safety dept have also issued notified residents in the area that they have found evidence of rodent problems around their homes.
I know i don't want mice poohing and winkling all over my food, they're seriously harmful, but many of the anti vermin methods available are cruel, sticky mats that stick the mouse/rats paws to it so that the animal eats its own limbs in a mania to escape thus dying of blood loss and shock? no need.
Saying that, how would i react if i found footprints (and turds) in my custard?
Poison it is.
P.S, Last week at a friends house i saw a mouse rooting around in the cat litter for something to carry off and line its nest with, gross.
