Mice

[jodcm007]

tell the council you think you a have a rat they will do for free

 

[n1 gull]

We had a really bad mouse problem, the wife bought these electronic sonic plugs, that apparently the mice can hear and drives them mental.
I thought they were rubbish and totally took the piss out of her for spending so much dosh on some stupid marketing ploy, but the bloody things work.
You can buy them from Argos about 7 quid a pop and you need one for all the room you think the mice are in.

Cats may not be the answer. Ours catches mice outside and brings them into the house to play. Birds too.

We have two very hungry corn snakes. They love mice! Does your wife like snakes? Maybe you could have them on loan for a few days, bit like McCammon.....

 

[Scarface]

there was a mousetrap in the middle of the floor.

Thought mice never went for traps that are in the middle of the floor? You have to place them against the wall at a right angle to have the best chance.

tell the council you think you a have a rat they will do for free

this is very much true.....have done before !

Forget putting cheese into a mouse trap. Chocolate works far better.

My youngest cat is a brilliant mouser - available at cheap rates

mice like mint, tried it with mint aero, worked a treat

Buy a Wolverine, they eat mice for breakfast

Diet:
whatever it can catch or find
From rats, and rabbits
to deer and caribou

 

[Northstander]

Further to my above thread..."A Wolverine!"

this will catch the little fuckers!!!

put the poison down and kill the liitle buggers.

You can buy an equally effective sonic device for getting rid of mice, and its much, much cheaper. I saw it in Woolies the other day for a couple of quid. Its called "Do They Know Its Christmas ?". Just leave this on in whatever room has the rodent problem, and it will be cleared within 3 minutes, guaranteed. Be careful you are not in the house when you use it though, as it has some unpleasant side effects which can induce migraines and vomitting.

The cat needs to do all of the rooms.

It may be obvious,but if it s a field mouse, it may be living outside!

Chocolate is a winner.

Block as many holes as you can.

Don'yt use poison, in case your little one finds it first.

Or NOT . They eat poison and die alright - somewhere under the floorboards where they then rot and stink the place up with an awful unlive-able stench for months afterwards.

You do need to eraticate (geddit?) this vermin as their dander and droppings cause infections and asthmatic conditions, especially in children.

Traps that catch the mouse are best, but require that you dispose of the mouse afterwards. For that reason, I liked the snake idea best.

I tried to lure a mouse into a box with some cheese. I ended up eating the cheese when i was drunk.
Eventually, one day, the same silly mouse thought i was at work, so it started arsing about in my bin thinking itself Mr Bigballs. I'd taken the afternoon off and heard him. I tied up the bag and popped him in the big bin outside. Moments later, binmen came and crushed him to death.

So, i suggest changing your routine. Or telling your wife that you are infested with tiny, playful otters.

 

[Northstander]

If you tell her you are off the get the Otters out she'll think you are off for a dump though?

As mentioned...if you use poison, the mouse/mice will go away and die under the floorboards...and boy do they stink.

Use traps with a bit of chocolate on or a bit of bread....it's usually an instant kill.

Humane traps keep the little bleeders alive but you'll have to drive them about 3 miles away to keep them out....most are homing mice

Mice will get through the smallest of holes.....a gap as thick as a pencil allegedly so they'll get in the air bricks.

I put my kids christmas choccy selection in the loft last year for a day or so...the bastards had the lot.

Caught about 6 so far this year in the conservatory and cupboard under the stairs where we keep the dog food.

I've used poison but apparently they're becoming immune to the blue rentokill poison in these parts! It works by thinning the blood and giving them a heart attack but they're just able to cope with it now.

Chocolate does indeed work a treat. That's how I've always caught the mice here in the past. The problem is, I've got a 3 year old and a one year old - I worry about leaving the traps too along the known mouse routes in case of accidents.

 

[sams dad]

.... where we keep the god food.

Or nectar to give it it's proper name

Or nectar to give it it's proper name

Actually, it's ambrosia. Nectar is the drink of the Gods.

Talking of Attila's snakes, I was on the phone to him earlier, and he was talking to one of his snakes like it was an errant child. 'Oscar, get down, good boy...' Very perplexing and psychedelic moment. Oscar and Rosie I think they're called, apparently very good for getting rid of Pixie and Dixie.
