Woodworm Required
« on: June 08, 2007, 02:05:34 PM »
I have seen the evidence of them in my Air Raid Shelter, now dealt with by thos nice bastards from RENTOKIL at huge expense, but find myself in need of them. Does anyone have any woodworm they no longer require or can anyone point me to an online supplier?

Thanks

Can't help with the woodworm but I do know that in the Rentokil Laboratories in East Grinstead they have barrel loads of Cockroaches. They try different methods of killing them as the little buggers are almost indestructable. I have seen the barrels and contents. I have also seen the ultimate mouse trap which is "radio controlled". Well near as dammit. Sainsbury etc don't want to upset their customers so Rentokil provide traps which catch the mice but do not kill them. So that the mice do not suffer by being held in the trap for a prolonged period (I kid you not) once the trap is sprung a radio signal alerts the operator who collects the mouse, resets the trap and the mouse is humanely killed by a qualified vet.

Seriously ~ they are gassed under veterinary supervision.
It's all to stop the Animal Lib people attacking Rentokil.

Err just an observation old boy but given that your very old house has a wooden frame do you really want to chance the curse of Nick by bringing in woodworm? just drill the damn table and blag it  point:
