darrren 414 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Got a shed, only a metal one on top of a massive pallet to keep it t raised off the ground. Went to get my net bag other week and noticed a nice chunk out of it. I thought bugger must of done that last season and not noticed. Went in the shed just now to get some nets and picked up my boxing boots and see the state of the laces all roped to bits, another set pulled inside all frayed. Then as I looked old bags of screws all the plastic looks chewed?? Here's a pic of the boots is this the work of mice? Somethings going to town in there and I have alot of kit in there.

darrren 414 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I opened up the boot when I pulled the laces outb and this is the droppings so definitely mice or rats not sure but I'm thinking mice as the dropping are small. Quote Link to post

darrren 414 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I put 4 snapper Traps down last night so I'll check after work see if we have anything. I'm guessing there will be more than one? Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Not much doubt that's mice! Quote Link to post

darrren 414 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 On 05/10/2019 at 20:46, Outofnowhere said: what is the update bud 4 traps in, since the original post. So far 2 Traps licked clean and not set off. So I'm goi g to try peanut t butter on the underside of the trigger rather than on the top and if that fails I'll glue a dog biscuit onto the trigger. I just need them to have to work for it a bit and a few nudges to get it to go off but definitely in there somewhere. What's the average amount you get as I'm guessi g it will be more than one in there especially as it had made a nest. Quote Link to post
Nicepix 5,650 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Get a live catch cage trap. You'll mop them up in no time. It will catch multiples every night. Quote Link to post
darrren 414 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 One of those funnel type ones isit mate? Still no bloody catch as of yet, you'd think they'd be easy, I underestimated them. Quote Link to post
