Anyone getting bothered with mice in the house this year. Living on a small holding its not uncommon to get the odd mouse coming in. This year I've had about 15 and the trap is set again cause I can hear the little c**ts under the floor. I've been round the house and plugged any wee gaps I can see but they are still coming.

I'm having to set traps on my back seat of the jeep as well cause there going in there and they have eaten the plastic top of the window washer bottle in the girls car!!

Can only be the weather that's driving them inside????

....I walk along the pavement picking worms up in wet weather and rescuing them to a patch of grass....I don't kill anything unless it's sport or I'm getting paid ?

I think I got one of those Syrian mouse the other day. Well it wasn't in the house, it was coming across the garden pond on a little boat. I hit it with a brick and it drowned.

With the mild weather I'd say mice have been breeding up until recent. IMO dack or glue boards are not a nice way for any animal to meet their maker. Get more traps.

See if u can find out how to make dake if u no what that is and make a board with food in the middle and put the dake all round it mice walk on it cant get off it easier than traps just place them where u need them

Used to have the glue rat traps. Effecient but expensive as you only use them once.

As for the mice the traps fine, I'd just rather the wee twats stayed out the house. Never know what there eating.

I remember my mrs telling me that she was horrified as a little girl when her grandad used to throw the mice that were stuck on the dack paper in the fire, still alive

Yes, horrible stuff. You get the same result and a cleaner floor with traps.

You want to hope they are not Syrian mice, they breed like f**k, but mostly they're only found in Council Houses. :D Had a few in the shed last year, making nests in my news papers for the log burner, had 9 in one day.
