Mice is always plural. Did you mean to emphasis that it was plural as in more than one, as in not one, as in two or more...........................yes, I am quite a **** and not embarrassed at all by it. You must learn to run with it. There is no room for embarrassment in life.

My next door neighbour on the ground floor thinks they came in from outside through cavity wall or back door when open. Fella above believes they come up through his kitchen up the pipework where he caught the two. They all look the same grey and similar size - in some ways I wish I could distinguish them and have a name for each individual then I I'd know if I'd eliminated the problem.

Perhaps a blob of white paint on the tail of each one you catch and release ?

Mice. You're lucky.

Every evening, including last night, we end up chasing a battered blue tit around trying to rescue it from the cat who seems to have discovered a nest somewehere nearby.

We live next to woodland our cat and Jack Russel deal with the mice so never had a problem.

Seconded, but have had success with Nuttella when peanut butter didn't work. Chocolate/nut double whammy!
