Been home for a bout 20mins.....when i hear a scrabbling noise going on in the kitchen.....so i assumed it was Holly and went to see what she was upto......No Holly insight :-/
Then a mouse popped outa Holly's food bag and scarpered behind the tumble dryer.....
How the mouse got in there in first place is amazing.
Her food is those Pedrigree 3k/2.5k bags resealable type that was upright on top of tumble dryer.
Then the mouse made a move for behind the fridge/freezer.....
Dunno where it is now......Holly's been having a good sniff about in the kitchen now.
So its off to the hardware shop in the morning for a mouse trap......and bait it with dog food.....as that mouse seems to like it :o
Will have to shut Holly outa kitchen tho when trap is put down.....otherwise she'll end up with the trap attached to her nose ;D
I can only assume the mouse has recently 'come in' as i havent seen any evidence of a mouse.
Tho im about to take Holly for her walk......so i'll leave the back door open and the kitchen to dinning room shut......so with a bit of luck the mouse might bugger off :-/
-
Get a cat. It won't catch the mouse, but it will give Holly something to catch whilst shut away from her food....

Leave your keys by the back door, i could do with an LPG estate, this 2.6 is costing me a fortune in fuel, worth it though.
;D ;D

and don't forget to leave the mouse a little eviction notice by the back door :y

But she moves a lot faster than you do..... ;)

Did anybody watch Ratatuille :)

I think its living behind the kitchen units...heard a noise just now.....so i might get brave in a bit and have the plinth off.....with a bit off luck if i keep all the doors shut except the back door it will make a runner for outdoors :y

Had a little mouse incident while camping in italy. Emma spotted some droppings around the bag that we had our clothes in. Then she noticed it had made a nest amongst my (clean) underpants >:(.
She was amused.

Well the little buggar is clever >:(
I bought two traps this morning and put one on the kitchen window sill (one place i know its been getting, next to fish food pellets) and one next Hollys food on top of the tumble dryer (where i saw it)
And baited them with Hollys food (quick a chunky nugget size)
Went off too work this afternoon.......just got in and both traps have gone off......food gone but no mouse >:(
So just rebaited with fish food pellets ( i know it likes them too! ) but they are a lot smaller and a lot harder to remove. Unless of course the mouse is that bloody clever its setting the traps off first then grabbing the food :o
Im sure it will visit again soon, hopefully tonight.......then we'll see how clever it is ;D

Been reading up on them with mixed reviews.
I too am a victim of the theiving bastard mice.
May I suggest smaller bait, been having success with 1/4 of a chocolate button per trap, well wedged on.
My count is still at 3.

Just bought one of these......
http://www.pestcontrolshop.co.uk/acatalog/PestClear_3000_Dual_Action_Pest_Repeller__49.99.html
Not from this shop tho......cheaper on ebay :y
The little git......is now ignoring the traps and the 'free' food by the traps ive put down.....
and last night knored its way into Holly's food bag......something its never done before.....but i guess its decided its safer than having its head ripped off ::)

Well....i spose you could move your guinea pigs to another room....ultrasonics dont pass thro walls....and keep away from walls.....the electromagnetics pulses in the electric cables is only good for 1ft.....just a thought :y
And another update.....as im in the news ;D
Still no sign of mr rodent......food i left down.....still untouched :y :)
