We used to have mice - lived in an old house between two fields. One of the cheeky beggars even ran out from behind the fireplace and watched TV with us for a while. Eventually we got cats. Apparently just the smell of cats should keep them away, although I'm not sure how true that is. As everyone else has said, trap them humanely and take them away. Then make sure you dont have crumbs, etc on worktops and all food is put away.

Hahahaha, not true, Not true at all, cats here, and the cats bring them in and sometimes they get away. Other times they move in because its warm and comfy.

Outside everything smells of predator.

Quit smoking . ( joke)

Buy Nutella. As I said before, its the best bait in the world.

Anything in sealed packets like glass, plastic/Tupperware just needs a wipe over with a good cleaner.

I live in a farm house on a farm. If we threw stuff out everytime a mouse was seen we'd through stuff out.....every autumn anyway. The cats bring them in and ATM the walk in through the whole that's meant to be a back door :mad:. We have unsealed pipe runs under the floor still from renovation work and its better than any pet toy, having a cat at one end and a terrier at the other .

You may think you are joking but you are right on the money!!! I smoke in the kitchen and left the window slightly ajar when I went out all day yesterday... to dissipate the smell...

It must have crept through at some point, I didn't see anything last night, thank god I didn't cook or eat in there eek, but lo and behold there was a MOUSE creeping about when I was having a fag today!! I haven't eaten anything, I just got off the phone from OH ordering him to get nutella and a humane trap... he thought they ate cheese lol and now he's pestering the pest control guys at work because I am on his back!!!

Nope, Nutella over cheese. And if you cannot get Nutella , fruit and nut chocolate.

You have to do something on the farm, and this kind of 'what works best tally' is sometimes as good as it gets.


Put your traps right along the wall, that's where they run, long side to the wall. And relax. . Honestly, you'll live.

Thank you, and hazelnut chocolate has just slid pathetically from my favourite hotspot .

I once came home to my old spaniel having destroyed half the kitchen units.
But She had the mouse, proper chuffed as well she was !

I'm also guessing you will feel less comfortable about a lunch invitation here sometime :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I once came home from school to find my mum and the helps all in a flutter, doors were being closed, the fridge was being moved, all because a mouse was somewhere!! Fine I thought, until it shot across the floor to right where I was standing, I screamed and screamed and closed my eyes and stamped my feet... When I stopped, I found everyone staring at my feet in shock... I had stamped the mouse into a pulp... OMG never again...

Given my track record, I don't know who should be more afraid of the other, me or the mouse...
