Had a couple in my kitchen last year under the units, was surprised to find them inside.

Never had it before tomo, reckon one could have got in and maybe dropped a litter could be wrong though often am lol...no evidence of mice though and let the shrews go in hedge at the back of me garden

I had this in my house last year. Had no end of them outside as well. They seemed to disappear on there own after awhile. Don't know whether it was the weather that made them come in or what.

For shrews to live indoors the couple must of had an insect infestation too as shrews need their body weight in grub every day .

Well, I've been at this Pest Control malarkey many years now and I've never seen one, I suspect I would have needed to look it up if I found one!
