An update.
I still have mice and saw one this morning as I sat up in bed. Neither of us were all that impressed with each other.
Not a single mouse has been caught in a trap.
The huge box of poisoned grain is disappearing at an alarming rate, so either as one dies, another takes its place, or we have a huge family living somewhere. Or, DBH's favourite theory, we have a family at either end of the house.
DSis and farming OH were here over the weekend, and he says that mice now have learnt to strip the outer blue coating from normal grain, so we should all be buying teeny linseed servolex. My grains haven't been stripped but as yet, they don't seem to be working. Or maybe I am right, and we live on the path of a big mouse run and will never be free, like people who live in old barns who have no idea that they are housing the descendants of thousand-year-old mouse dynasties.
