My eco solution to rat problems

[chocchick]

I replaced one of the original plastic screws that hold eglu to run (one near the floor) with the metal disc behind with my own metal screw. I screwed it in too tightly and now can't remove it.

Any suggestions?

OH sprayed WD40 on it, my thinnish pliers won't work and screwdrivers and the pliers just s"Ooops, word censored!"e pieces of the metal.

 

It would be nice to be able to take the two apart top clean thoroughly, remove the "bits" that fall through the holes inside the eglu base and it would help adding aubiose/clearing out the run as I can't reach the middle and the run is currently set in the ground, albeit dirt.

Anyone more handy out there?

 

P.S. I have a set of new screws etc. now

Sounds like the thread is crossed Choccster - have you tried mole grips?

[chocchick]

I'll have to do an internet search on that

[chocchick]

Ahh

[Egluntyne]

Which part of the mole do you grip with that?

[chocchick]

The bit that digs up your garden

I have a cat for that Sarah

 

Little darling left a mole by the bed a few nights ago for me to step on when I got up

[The Dogmother]

That was nice of him Louise.

 

Don't know what I'd do without my mole grips.

[chocchick]

I know those little mole blighters

(read back your reply to Louise)

 

OH has been hiding some. It was all hush hush and did I know what they were ( of course ) then he admitted to owning some

Didn't mention before. I just have to find them now

I know someone who does taxidermy and I did think about getting it stuffed as it was completely undamaged the little monster kills moles and shrews and leaves them they must taste nasty

 

He is so sweet most of the time and turns into a savage murderer when he goes outside
