We've Got Mice-Help!!! (merged threads)

please dont use poison, mice dont die instantly,it can take a few days ,if they go outside and then get eaten by wildlife eg buzzard or fox then they get poisoned aswell,one of our cats died because it had eaten a poisoned mouse,she had given birth to 5 kittens 3 days before she died and we had to hand rear them.

I had 3 of those thing. Didn't stop a blinking thing. We never noticed a drop in the number of spiders either, which they are meant to stop. We had rats in our attic 2 winters on the trot and we had to poison them to get rid. Yes, the smell was flippin' awful, but better than being infested with rats, chewing through goodness knows what. Thankfully we found where they were getting in - next door had a dodgy drainpipe, so we've not been visited again.

Just a small point when mouse-proofing. The little blighters can squeeze through very small places.
As a rule of thumb, if you can fit a biro through a hole, a mouse can squeeze through it!

If you have no luck, I'll lend you my cat - he's a supreme mouser! :rotfl:

We had a mouse last year - thankfully only one. We used an old fashioned trap with peanut butter as bait. I set them in the morning and when I returned it had been caught. No trouble since as we now have Jack Russell terrier who is a terrific mouser.
