Do not think you can buy moth balls anymore, but thanks for the suggestion.
Was going to try finely ground up chilli flakes mixed into any old engine oil spread on aluminium foil tray shaped to the box floor as they will not like licking off their feet.
Buy the way electrical replacement...
having just spent funds on rewiring two electrical boxes with wiring and new breakers, they are sited outside and are of the white plastic cabinet type with a door, both were the result of small mice, vowl, shrew type beasts who seem to be able to get in via the door seal as all the entry points...
Whatever additional pipes, thread the electric sheep wire rope through them, makes pulling whatever pipe through easier at some future date. Cost is minimal compared to ease of install.
UPVC door and frame, just fitted one in one of our rental cottages, purchased it 2nd hand on ebay for £ 150 with two double glazed panels with decent air space between panes. No more rot, no more painting. Old hard wood door just could not take the rain and sun.
Save the planet and recycle...
Unfortuately RT is not providing any premium for the good work done by UK farmers. Unless the consumer pays a premium for RT certified goods there is no valid reason to have it.
EV batteries are improving fast, lighter, faster charging, smaller, higher recharge interval. What is the resale value of old EV technology in 4 years time?
Poor ROI.
Sad scam, waste of good equipment and money. If the meters are so poor quality, then why not make a very minor adjustment to the repayment rate.
I do not think they are poor quality or drift off correct calibration, it is simply a waste of world resources.
Does anyone have a simple programme that allows any farmer to input his or her circumstances and it spits out suggested actions for highest financial return per hectacre without loss of farmed land or live stock?
Thank you everyone for pointers and suggestions, I checked the pressure vessel today and lo and behold water came out instead of air, so suspect that the rubber bladder is split or leaking, will get replacement pressure vessel 400 litre. And see what happens.
Good point, will check the borehole pump, as it is located in a field 500 metres away from the holding tanks to see if it is also running continiously.
It is difficult to see usage at the holding tanks as there are electrical trigger floats on the holding tanks that activate the borehole pump...
Should have added that we are on brash with plenty of limestone and free draining due to hill location so leaks do not show and walking over fields show no muddy patches or especially green areas.
Sorry to not have explained clearly, we have a borehole that pumps water to holding tanks, no problem there. Then booster pump from holding tanks to the network system of many pipes to troughs in fields and various buildings including farm house, about 30 different end points. The system was...
Thank you everyone, I really need a company that can find what must be a relatively small water pressure leak, the water pressure at the pump drops, which then triggers the pump to run again. I suspect it is a pipe joint that has been stretched due to land movement during the dry weather.
