Just use a fly swatter
The humane traps do work though, and they are humane so you're not needlessly killing animals0 -
If you ring up you local council they should send someone round to put out poison for free. Mice and rats. I can't remember the name of the exact department but probably to do with environmental something or other.
I have used them for my garage problem and they are very good in my area. Cleared up the problem in next to no time. Even did follow ups.
Oh, and they electronic devices didn't work for me either.0 -
We have mice in the garage and everynight we catch one! Our trap is a humane one - peanut butter at one end, mouse goes in, thing tips up and lid closes - got it from B&Q. Every morning, hubby goes out into the woods near our house and lets the mouse go - the instructions say you should release it a quarter of a mile from your house!0

Maybe this mouse comes back every night for a nice snack of peanut butter and a nice warm place to sleep!!!!!!!!!!What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
Hi we had mice in the kitchen & a rat in the wall space between our house & next door.
we got 4 of these & havent seen or heard any since.
We still have traps down but they remain empty, & untouched poison.
We put one in our lounge just in case & accidently brought in our guinnea pig who went crazy until we realised the unit was plugged in, once unplugged he was fine.
In my opinion they do work.
We got ours from QVC for around £15 for 2.0 -
a rolled up newspaper?
or an argos catalogue?0 -
