Hi all. I'm nearly a year living with a brown bin and as I said earlier I decided to stop using the bin for the summer months due to the smell and wotnots that evolve in the warmer weather. Maybe come the winter I'll be brown binning again. In the meantime the bad news is we had an large infestation of mice at the front of the house in the garden close to the bins so that was the final straw. I've been baiting for a couple of weeks and the evidence is lessening thankfully. I got some advice from one of the professional rat-catchers who said that there is a lot of mouse/rat activity in the area right now. My friend who lives about a mile away has a rat problem. The professional I spoke to said the main problems are domestic composting and feeding birds. Sorry to say, I am no longer 'green' unfortunately.
