JustMe Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Agree that poison is a bad idea, unless you have a serious infestation. The other thing is, don't delay as they breed PDQ. Metal traps with chocolate work great but wir cats seem to be enough to keep them clear nowadays. Is there any research on this?........some reliable form of contraception for mice might be a longer term solution to a big problem. Even if the medicine was disguised as peanut butter.

turrifield Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 On River Cottage one time Hugh had mice in his house. He got a hippy crystal type person to do a cermony thing and she put out some stones and lit some joss sticks and asked the mice to leave. Apparently it worked so you could try that!

north Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 The worst thing about Moose, is that I don't believe any other food on earth makes you fart as badly! Sure is good eating though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm sure that the same individual who used a shotgun to control the mice problem, also used a fork to remedy a problem with an errant ram? Unless my memory deceives me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Inky Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Anybody been aware of mooses loose aboot da hoose this year?My girlfriend just rang me today to let me know that a mouse has been sneaking into our kitchen and eating lentils and tea-towels. I'm investing in some traps this lunchtime. And the cats are going to have some serious questions to answer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I caught a couple recently. What was unusual about them was they they were brown on top with grey bellies. Does this mean that one parent was a house mouse and the other a field mouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainlander Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Think we have a family of mice in our house. They have got in near the central heating boiler and can travel around via the pipes to the radiators, so don't seem to come out where the cat or dog can catch them. Just in my kitchen cupboards - ugh! Have had the humane traps, but they either seem to die of shock in them or - eat their way out! Couldn't get metal traps locally so have just put down quite a few plastic traps, baited with bits of Mars bar. Anybody got any new/better tips for getting rid of the little blighters?

Marooned in Maywick Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Peanut butter. They can't get it off the holder (I suppose is a good enough way of describing it) and will spring the trap in the attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
