longdog13 36 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi all, I have a mouse issue, we have been in the property, for 6mnths and at first noticed the sign of mice two weeks after moving in, droppings etc. I trapped and killed just four. Nor traps are baited and remain empty (live catch), sign has stopped in the house, living areas etc. Now we can hear them in the walls and ceilings!! what to do? we have young children and dogs so perhaps poison might not be a great idea? Any advice appreciated. LD13 Quote Link to post
Jamie93 57 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi mate. When we had mice we were told to put poison (the ones in bags) in the loft and on top of cupboards etc. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post

Ali-G 1 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I use humane traps (yeah, i'm a wimp). They no longer come in to the living areas of the house now but I did move all my dried food, cereal, cat biccies etc to top cupboards where they can't get in. I STILL hear them in the walls but i'm not too bothered as long as I don't get a "sighting". Thing is, I have three cats and they don't even bother with them! Quote Link to post
