I dont dare look for that!

Yes, woodworm make very short work of a tasty piece of plywood. Seems the glue gives them an enhanced appetite. I had to extensively soak all my floors in a good pesticide solution but it took ages for the smell to die away.
I put a couple of bits of displaced timbers upstairs in my unit and a few months later my tap and dies box started to leave little piles of dust every time I closed the lid. Little buggers have found another source of free dinners!

Coming back to mice....I have found the original 'Tom and Jerry' style mousetrap is the best. ( the little nipper). I use haribo sweets as bait. Forget the humane traps or any newfangled enhanced design traps. They don't work as well.

Then there is the “Surrender With Dignity” option:
“If you can’t keep the rats away from the Dart, keep the Dart away from the rats.”
While perhaps not practical for larger model cars, 19-gauge ½" mesh galvanized steel has, after-the-fact, proven to be a reassuringly gnaw-proof solution. Requires about 10 minutes to un-cage the beastie.
