Lab 10,979 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 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???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 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. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 probably due to the extra soggy fields and lack of frosts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You get the same result and a cleaner floor with traps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 You want to hope they are not Syrian mice, they breed like f**k, but mostly they're only found in Council Houses. Had a few in the shed last year, making nests in my news papers for the log burner, had 9 in one day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
