Title: Mice
Post by: Jimbob on 10 July 2007, 13:50:25

Mice, not ones on dangly wires connected to a pc, but real live ones.

Seem to have a few, kept 'emselves to 'emselves outside, traps down, catch a few fine.

However, started hearing em in the ceilings :(

Tempted to have a go at the electronic rodent repellers, anyone tried em?  good or bad?

Before anyone suggests it, we have a (rather useless) cat.

He caught one the other day, wandered in with it attached to my mouse trap!, 'yeah cheers, worked hard there tiggy!'

Cheers, and NEWSFLASH

found where the buggers are getting in, just walked through the garage and saw something run down the wall, and there is a tail sticking out the electric meter cupboard!  opened it up, fair few droppings, so 2 traps installed, lets see how long it takes!

All cats are rather useless vermin them selves.........very clean though if they visit my garden thanks to the use of the super soaker and the occasional dunk in the water butt.

Traps is the answer, even in the loft..........poison just results in nasty smells as they rot away.

Agree both on the cats and use of poison

good 1/2 dozen traps, from loft, garage and leccy cupboard.

was wondering about the gadgety ones as a more permanent solution.

Its difficult to beat the effectiveness of the good old 'little nipper' traps.
