Little perishers are coming in from the cold. Saw one on the hearth rug a few weeks ago. Bold as brass, he sat looking at me; he wasn't even scared of me.
We got pest control out and they put bait down. Then we saw nothing.
But now they are back. We tried one of those sonic high pitched noise things but pest man said mice get used to it and it doesn't bother them.
Can't get a cat cos much as I love em, I am allergic.
Think Ill put a sign up saying Mice Forbidden. That might work.

Bags, how do you know where the territorial boundaries are for your mice after you've caught them in a humane trap?
We've done that before, set a mouse free a couple of miles away. I work on the principle that it's better to have to fight other mice for survival than be laboratory bred and have no chance.

Mice will nibble through your electric cables this could start a fire.
Not so cute and cuddly now are they? They are vermin as are rats which also spread disease. Don't get soppy about them.
