Man’s Shed Under Renewed Attack by Rodents

A local man, who prefers to remain anonymous, told how rodents had infiltrated his “man shed” and eaten his internet cables.

The man kept his computer in his shed and discovered that it was no longer working. Perplexed, he called a local communications expert to examine the situation. After several hours of detective work, the communications expert discovered that the rodents had chewed through the man’s internet cables. The communications expert said, “This is not the first case of cable munching rodents I’ve come across. It seems that rodents have a taste for internet cables because the plastic they are made of appears to attract them.”

The man had put rodent bait in his shed in April this year, when news of the mouse plague first hit, and thought that one lot of bait would do the job. Turns out that the first wave of rodents was suitably deterred by the baits, but a second wave of Rodentia, finding no bait around, took to the cables instead.

It is recommended that you check your rodent baits to see if they are still operable, and if not, buy replacements as soon as you are able. Our anonymous man now has a rather large bill on his hands, and it turns out that the rats are not too keen to pay it!
