The Rising Sun publicans, Mark and Lorraine, had noticed a swarm of flies inside our clubroom windows yesterday. A number of years ago we’d had a similar issue with a squirrel which had got trapped inside the clubroom and had died – full of maggots and a very nasty smell!
When Lorraine and I went inside today, all we could see were a number of dead bumble bees and loads of live flies inside the snug windows, but no obvious larger dead body or nasty smell.
As a business providing food, they are obliged to get the pest controller in to sort this health issue out, so she now has a key to the clubroom, which will be kept in their office, as she expects the pest controller will need to visit several times.
Because Paul and I are the designated club custodians, I have also given her both our mobile numbers for any possible future problems.
