Food experiment & REVELATION

Following on from my disheartening discovery yesterday that the creatures ARE actually getting into my flat and eating my food, I decided to do a bit of further investigation. I'm going to keep track of the food bits I throw away (and add some more to establish what it's actually going for if anything.. and just to make it a more rounded experiment!) and then a couple of days later I'll take it all back out and see if anything's been eaten, and if so what.
I mean, it is still possible that I'm just being characteristically paranoid. I was telling my friend Claire about it earlier today, and she said she has a habit of unconsciously picking at bits of food, such as crumbs on a plate, and it's possible I do the same. After all, it's a little hard to swallow that simple house rodents would eat around the food rather than the item itself, I think I'm imbuing them with human qualities of subterfuge.

Anyhow, here's what I spent most of the day constructing.. these creatures are at least getting all the major food groups into their diet thanks to me *eyeroll*:



And whilst bin-diving for bits of food I could use, I also made a startling discovery about how the creatures could actually be getting in! I used my phone to film it, to make this thing a little more multi-media and exciting, plus you get to see my lovely face!



Sorry about the horrible quality (and I SWEAR I don't sound that posh in real life!), but hopefully you got the point: there's a massive freaking hole under my built-in cupboards, and the floor of my bin cupboard lifts right up, like a trap bloody door. I'm going to keep it like that while the experiment runs its course, but straight after, I'm gonna tape that bitch right up. Hopefully, without food, they'll be forced to find other lodgings!
