Guest complaints about loir in the attic
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 11:49 am
It seems there are loir in the attic.
I broke my femur on July 2 and have been in hospital, until just now, and I am still not able to walk and go to see.
The first guests on July 8th complained about the noise. I sent a man twice to check out the position. The guests left disgruntled at their lack of sleep after a week.
The man I sent was supposed to have poisoned the intruders. The new people came for a week and made no mention of intruders in the loft. I thought the mission was accomplished.
There are sonic devices in action on the property as a precaution to deter ordinary mice, apparently the loir are hard of hearing.
The new guests ripped a hole in the pool cover, a sort of hand sized hole on the edge suggestive of roughly dragging the cover. They also broke a slat on a garden chair, according to the grass cutters. Looked like they stood on it to adjust the parasol?
I deducted an amount from the damage deposit and paid the balance to them.
Their response, made by the mother, is to say they think high winds caused the tear in the pool cover, and that they know nothing of the damaged chair. The lady went on to say that because I was just out of hospital, she had not previously mentioned the rat infestation in the loft that kept them awake, and she felt in respect of this I should return the rest of the deposit.
I guess the loir are still active then? So I have two queries for fellow gite owners to advise up on.
What should I do about the damaged pool cover? For me it is plainly due to the rough management of it.
What should I do about the damaged chair? What do other people do when guests use chairs to stand on to adjust parasols? (I am guessing this was the cause)
Finally what in heck do I do about the darned loir? Apparently, I have just found, they are a protected species in France and in any case they don't die when eating apple and rat poison delights.
I have seen the thread about loir on here.
Currently, since Saturday, there are new guests in there, either the loir have gone, or the guests are deaf, or the guests are too polite to complain.
Please give me your opinions?
Thank you.
