Rentokil rodent catcher box in lounge this morning
I'm in two minds as to whether I find this concerning or not. In F lounge today, there is a rodent catch her box max 1 metre from me. Would post a pic if I could but no idea how.
A school of thought says, they obviously need to do something to get rid of them but another says I don't much want that thought in my head whilst I tuck into my Sunday morning breakfast...
Thoughts?

Fair dos.
Had a quiet word with one of the lounge mgrs and he said that it's a terminal wide initiative but the boxes are normally under seats and out of sight. This one is probably out in the open because the seat that "hid" it got moved.
Sounds plausible. Case dismissed

The world is heavily populated with small rodents. Nowhere is immune from their presence, and having discreet traps here and there is a sensible move.
Living in a rural area, with a cat who likes to hunt, we have had to deploy several traps in secret corners to catch the ones she brings home ... and lets escape again. Morning trap-check of the night's activity [or none] is a daily requirement!

We have to have them at work. You can see if the bait has been nibbled so it's a good way to be able to say yes we have rodent boxes but no we don't have s problem as we've not had any sign of rodent activity.
Be reassured.

I loved that craft beer. The Wild Beer Company, Invest, Cloudy Crowd. I was late for my flight to EZE, so only managed a couple. Haven't seen them since.

Mice spotting used to be a regular passtime in the KLM Crown Lounges in AMS....
