We have two PLN power sources at our place. A couple of weeks ago, with no new appliances/devices plugged in, switched a bedroom ceiling light on and
poof! Half our electricity went off. I’m not a sparky, so called an electrician in. He reckoned the socket for the light was “dirty”. He removed the bulb, cleaned the socket and replaced the bulb. Success, until:
A few nights ago, sitting around doing nothing watching a movie, the power went off again.
The cover on one of our fuse boxes was open and a rat dropped down on my feet. Somehow the rat had flipped the switch. (That fuse box was
not the one with the bedroom light.)
We’ve also got some big-sounding critter(s) rumbling in our downstairs ceiling. Don’t know what it is but sounds too big for a rat (unless it’s one of those giants from Flores). Could be cats/civets. Might have to buy a python and let it deal with it.
Next real steps: Call an electrician back and pest controller.
