Where they come from has not yet been observed, neither have any signs of damage that they might cause where they live/hatch. Thank you for any assistance!

RE: [pestlist] Mouse proofing doors
Thanks all for the responses, some very useful tips which I’ll cost up now. Please see below a little summary of the suggestions: · Metal-coat the threshold and the outer bottom lip of the door to prevent gnawing (e.g., aluminium/brass threshold cover plates). · Fit brush style door sweeps, e.g. Xcluder pest control door sweep https://buyxcluder.com/xcluder-commercial-pest-control-door-sweep-134.html, or Sealeze Sealeze.com<http://sealeze.com>. · Fill any gaps/holes with steel/brass wool.
