khitajrah Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I watched with horror once as my father partially filled a bucket with water and placed a dob of peanut butter on a stick and then placed the stick over the open top of the bucket. The next morning the bucket had several mice floating in it. I suppose that's one way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I know of one house locally that has a snake loose, that seems to have dealt with the mouse problem (+ any other unwanted visitors) thing is not so good if you have cat/dog(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainlander Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 A snake? Gulp There were no takers for my bits of Mars bar last night, so I will give the peanut butter a go tonight. I hadn't heard the bucket idea before - I have the feeling that when I tell that one to my other half he will want to try it in the outbuilding, where they have eaten all the pumpkin seeds he had saved from this year's crop. Thanks, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Because a mouse had been feeding on a large bag of birdseed in our porch I put the bag inside a black bag sized bin. Today when I went to feed the birds I lifted the bag to find a mouse running around inside it. I secured the bag and drove it round to the old road btween Scalloway and the Brig of Fitch where I released the mouse back into the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trout Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Came back from holiday once to find a baby mouse had managed to fall into the emtpy bin and couldn't get out. Was just still alive so we fed it with sugar water to get life back into it and released it. Da wifes perogative! They say you need to release them at least a couple of miles away or they get back to you? Who knows? Anyway... there was more than one kicking about so I ended up buying those electronic things that steer them away from you. Directed them all towards next door ... Funny thing - a couple of weeks later met next doors man on the bus and he's complaining about this mouse infestation arf arf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastditch Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 When I was young my father said they kept a hedgehog in the house to catch the mice. No sure if he was pulling my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I thought at this time of year mice wouldn't venture outside but I found one yesterday frozen to a sheet of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Always had success using a glass milk bottle baited with bacon rind Put cooked bacon rind in a milk bottle and set it at an angle the mice get in to eat but cant get up the slope of the bottle to get out as it is greasy Just pop in oven and gas them.....And before any body screams " Mouse Rights" it is a very humane way od disposing of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortien Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've always found Nutella the best for baiting the traps, or a bit of fruit and nut Yorkie.A bit for the mouse and a bit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchieSquirrel Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 What really freaks me out is when the mice start chewing your walls in the middle of the night, if only my family had a chance to have a cat (but my father is allergic to them) and why can't they invent some sort of robot cat which is ideal for allergics.What I'd like to see is a mouse getting killed by a mouse trap instead of it being there like you don't see the action.
