Mice

[Ric.ror]

I have heard a mouse in my bedroom. I have a plug in pest repellent so what else can I do? If I have to poision it I will as a last resort

[B00]

oh please no, don't poison it :-(

Can't you use a humane trap and then release it away from your house?

[Athley]

Buy a humane trap Ric.ror and give the little guy a chance. Let him run free!!!!

[burnhal]

Although not guaranteed to be a house mouse- chances are it is. SO where are you going to release it and whats it likely to do next- invade someone else's house? They do live in fields near human habitation as well as in buildings. THey are considered pests as they ruin so much stored food and are carriers of disease. So are we still moist eyed over them?

[B00]

Yep :-)

[burnhal]

wouldnt expect anything else rom you!! :)

[B00]

lol burnhal

You know you love me really, I insist on it ;-)

[Athley]

I am still loving mice!!! :o)

Go mice, go mice, go mice!!!

[burnhal]

Its so hard when you INSIST!!

[winny]

dont poison it. If it goes to die where a cat finds it then the cat is a gonner too. Either that or some poor person gets a big vet bill. If it decides to die where a cat doesnt find it then you have a rotting corpse somewhere in the house (bit smelly). I have used both killer traps and humane although I do agree with the where are you going to release it arguement. I am affraid after them eating some very expensive stuff in my garage last year I resorted to killer traps and trying not to think about it too hard. Sorry boo!!

We've had field mice a couple of times, apart from humane traps my son had a brainstorm once and staked it out ( I do worry about his sanity) he managed to corner it, trap it and then released it back into the field. You need to act quickly cos they're so destructive and one becomes two...... also check around the house for possible entry gaps so you can do something about it before a revisit. Hope you're soon miceless!

Here we go again...the vermin argument.
We (humans) call all creatures, that are remotely successful at surviving, vermin or pests. (Everything else seems to be endangered!) If you follow that argument to it's logical conclusion, then WE are the biggest vermin on the planet. Which of you lot are up for a bit of human(e) trapping????

[wolf63]

if toltol is correct can anybody catch the vermin known as George Clooney for me?

[Athley]

A large crate with a huge amount of Martini in it should do the trick wolf63.

Good luck

:o)

i had a mouse in my room, i just blocked up the hole with a pair of socks and that did the trick!

Get yourself a cat, you wont have any more problems with mice.

[winny]

Minor problem with that marvelman. Our cat is the culprit for bringing most of the mice in the darn house as presents!!!! It lets the things go and they run aroud like idiots. They are easy to catch in one of those big fishing net things as they hide and dont know where to go. You see I am nice to mice when it isnt their fault they are in my house. So if you get the cat dont get the catflap!!!

[Ric.ror]

I am sorry but I dont care about the mice at all. If they are as intitled to live in my house as I am how come they dont contribute to the mortagage - or pay for the food they seem to ruin.
