Hi there! We had a different kind of surprise for Easter. When we reached out in the pantry to surprise our toddle with a chocolate bunny, we discovered it with tiny teeth marks and it’s head gnawed. Definitely a mouse!

When we reached out in the pantry to surprise our toddle with a chocolate bunny, we discovered it with tiny teeth marks and it’s head gnawed. Definitely a mouse!
This is the first time we noticed something like this. Luckily our 4yo didn’t mind the mouse getting the treat but we’re obviously not to keen on the company. Think they might be nesting in the garage (it’s an old rental so not the most sealed basement and garage) and we think we see some droppings there 👀
Any ideas on what we can do? And leads on pest control options in this lockdown? Should the landlord be looking into this as well?
Thank you and happy Easter!

Here are some tips we've put together below:
1. Keep your weight down
Obesity is linked with osteoarthritis (loss of cartilage in the joints), which commonly affects knees and hips. Carrying too much weight can also lead to varicose veins. Varicose veins are not life-threatening but they look unsightly and can be painful.
2. Walk
Exercise is very important for the health of your legs. Walking is an excellent way to tone the muscles in the leg, reduce body fat and improve circulation. Aim to walk 30-45 minutes daily, this can be done in bursts through the day.
3. Put your feet up
Standing or even sitting all day can lead to swollen legs and ankles.
Being inactive causes circulation problems. Normally when you walk, the blood is pumped back towards your heart and swelling is reduced. Putting your feet up for just ten minutes a day can help.
4. Check for changes in moles
The leg is a common area of the body in which malignant melanomas can develop. Be vigilant and check regularly for any changes in colour, size or shape of moles.
A yearly mole check with your GP is recommended.
5. Eat a healthy low-fat diet
Sometimes described as your 'second heart', your leg veins help pump blood back up to the heart. Nutritionally, the same rules apply for healthy leg vein circulation as for a healthy heart. Cut back on saturated fat and sugar, make sure you have enough fibre in your diet to maintain normal bowel motions.
Commencing from 28 April:

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.
In the last week, Council has temporarily closed a number of bush tracks in our area that run close to kauri trees. Here are the maps showing the closed tracks at:

* Eskdale Reserve Network (including Birkenhead Domain)
* Kauri Glen Reserve/Cecil Eady Reserve
* Birkenhead War Memorial Park
* Chatswood Reserve.
Tracks were also closed at Chelsea Estate Heritage Park, however this was an error and the tracks should now be open again or be open soon.
All other parks and tracks are open, unless they were already closed awaiting track upgrades.
Under Alert Level 4, no-one is allowed to fill the spray bottles for cleaning shoes, and no-one should be using tracks near kauri if they haven't sprayed their shoes, therefore the tracks have been temporarily closed. Tracks that have already had in-ground cleaning stations installed remain open.
