    Hi Dave, no news is good news.

    Been painting doors...don`t know why bothering but makes me feel better!!

    Animal advice - Saw a mouse in the workshop today!! Any tips on getting rid rather than murdering the little devil?? (poison, those nasty trap things etc) . I called it Jeremy - don`t know why he just looked like a Jeremy!

    I`ve lost the plot have`nt I ??

    Angexx


    How Could you now kill poor jeremy??!!

    The traps are quick and painless..as they break neck quickly rather than the poison which is slow acting (usually warfarin based which make them bleed internally, so they bleed to death!)...sorry to be graphic but its best to be informed...

    Is he 'jeremy' causing any harm?, also you will have to make sure it isnt a protected one - i know you live in country and some of the field mice (cant remember exact ones) are protected species...check the web for further info...google protected mice or something like that...And if one looks like 'JEREMY' then i'd not kill it.

    Also message to you....stop watching morning TV!!!...jeremy kyle perhaps?!!!
    :rolleyes:

    DONT KILL JEREMY ANGEL. One of our cats,pujab i think, brought a mouse in to the outhouse daughter and i managed to catch it,put it into nxt doors very overgrown garden then threw it bits of cheese. It was great to watch him happily nibbling on his cheese.
    Hey angel don't worry about naming your mouse. Every xmas i name our cockeral/turkey for dinner.One year we had terry the turkey but half way through "it" gave birth to gilbets so had to be renamed tersea!!! You think you've lost the plot.
    I think my biology needs a refresher course:rotfl:

    Almost forgot.
    In the paper today a women bought a blanket from tesco and a mouse had made a home in the middle of it! still alive as well.
    At my old employment we had a rat man come round checking the bait boxes. He reckoned because of all the floods there were lots of rats being seen above land.Angel check out jeremy's tail. if it's very long it's a rat not a mouse:eek: Then you can catch the blo**y thing yourself:D

    I had a mouse living under the car bonnet a while ago.....took it to the garage as some of the lining of the bonnet had come away & I wondered why, mechanic looked under the bonnet screamed & ran across the workshop....he'd found mouse poo all over the engine block...had to strip the car completely to find the bloody thing..eventually he'd died in a heater vent

    had mice here where I live in the loft..scared the hell out of me at night in bed hearing them scuttling around...dont like traps or poison so instead I bought an ultrasonic plug in thingie works a treat no mice now & only cost me £20 from B&Q sends a signal through the walls & wiring in the house that mice/rats cant bear to hear
