    Mice - Everywhere!

    i WENT INTO OUR GARDEN SHED ON sUNDAY MORNING AND THE DOG FOLLOWed.. she got all very excited but what ever was behind the boxes.. anyway to cut a long story short it looks like we have mice and judging by their jobbies a whole army of them!

    I have managed to rid the palce of 8 since laying down three mouse traps.

    Would anyone know the easiest and quickest way to remove mice. Would bait be the answer? These traps are only good for the occassional one or two.

    Hiya

    same where we live apparently this is the time of year for them, I am speaking to lots of people with the same problem.

    I have been told peanut butter, but apparently milk chocolate is even better for catching them, in a trap.

    Hope this helps

    We had mice about a month ago, being a bit of an animal lover I went into my local Bunnings and asked for some humane mouse traps and the bloke serving me said "oh there great I've caught loads of mice in them and then you can just chuck them down the loo" Not quite the idea!!!! Any way we did catch a couple in them but my husband said it was to much faffing about so I'm afraid we had to use old fashioned traps with peanut butter and I'm pleased to say we have no more mice.

    Trapping with Peanut butter or choccie is the way to go.

    Poison is very efficient but dangerous if you have pets.
    They could eat the casualties and be ill themselves.

    We had a rat in our loft a couple of years ago - he liked ballroom dancing with clogs by the racket he made.

    I put a large rat trap up in the loft for it.
    Little Tyke heard a lot of clanking and knocking up there.
    The rat had it's tail in the trap and was running around with it.
    It lost the argument with the baseball bat
