Mice

It's the new-fangledness - Nonu - get an old-fashioned one (or a cat!)

Grace , can"t get them , annoying part is we have one of the old type , but just can"t lay our hands on it .

However , Mr N is not to be beaten , so watch out mousie !

There's probably more than one!

EEk , I KNOW !

we have them in our shed eeeeek it freaks me out, we find evidence of shredded paper!!

fortunately they not come inside!!!

here you go, old fashioned mouse traps!

And I think I heard somwhere that chocolate or peanut butter is a more effective bait.

Phoenix , thanks so much , will get on to them .[ cheesy {get it ] smile]

No problem!

Mars Bars are their favourites...also sticks to the trap so they can't just grab and run.

B and Q do a poison inside a sealed unit tunnel thingy that you just put where they run. The go in, eat the poison and run out the other side but nothing bigger than a mouse can access the poison. We have garden mice but have one of the tunnels next the to fridge in the kitchen just in case. If the poison gets eaten we'll know they've moved in.

Trouble with laying down poison , they eat it then go away to die .

Then later on there will be this vile smell , and have to locate body .

this is making me feel , UGH !!

You could borrow Maurice, he's ace with mice! I would suggest Digby, heaven knows he could do with the exercise, but he's strictly spiders only at the moment.

Post Maurice over here , straight away !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am petrified of them.............AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.

We have an ongoing problem with mice in our boiler house and now that the weather is getting colder and wetter they are going in to stay dry and warm. I have FOUR traps set (baited with peanut butter) and nearly every day there is at least one mouse in a trap. My record is three mice in one night. Don't be persuaded to get a sonic repeller as the record catch was soon after I had bought one

We have a cat called Kiwi (guess what colour he is?) who brings live mice in for us - well it is cold out there for them!

Green Kitty?????

None in the house this year, but the garage is full of droppings, so I'm going to have to get the traps out. Not looking forward to cleaning it out afterwards as it's full of junk. Got the peanut butter from last year.

I too thought green kitty then realised, rugby, all black?

Maurice doesn't bring them in, just leaves bits of a "build yourself a mouse kit" on the front step.

I just keep eating the peanut butter/chocolate for the traps!

Just saw a fat one walking straight down a brick wall and along a fence. Very acrobatic to be able to walk across vertical surfaces like that.

ella46 I assume you are not actually taking it out of the Mouse traps to eat it.?

I love my garden mice. I could watch them for hours.

You can buy humane traps. The mice get trapped inside, alive and well. You take them outside and release them back into the wild......then leg it back indoors before they do
