Bloody mice have been in the garage and eaten into my brand new Trakker Levelite ELS bed which I have used about 5 times. Somehow there were some red robin pellets stashed in the middle. The sods have gnawed into the actual bed and there is some stuffing out with a small hole. They must have been using it as a nest. How those pellets got there is beyond me - they must have found a few stray ones on the garage floor and stashed them there. It's so annoying as the bed is brand spanking new.

Anyways, I'm after some big plastic containers - big enough to hold a folded up bed-chair etc. Anyone recommend anything?

p.s. If anyone wants this for £50 they can have it. You could probably just stick a cover on it. I'm in Essex.

Don't really see anything for putting in bedchairs etc? Surely you can get long plastic boxes somewhere with lids? I'm struggling to find anything at the mo.

I had a sleeping bag go the same way a few years ago, I got some of the poison traps that Oldgeezer put up and more recently some snap traps as backup, not seen a mouse or had any trouble since putting the poison boxes down to be honest.

Impossible to find mate saying “Keter”. Was it like an outdoor storage chest? Keter have their own website, but can't see anything large enough.
Are you sure?
