Default Mice - they have taken up residence......

Right it's cold outside so we seemingly have some mice coming inside for a shelter and a snack.

Now when we had issues a few years back I used poison and job done, but this time the kids are older and tend to use the areas where I put the poison as does the dog, which we didn't have last time either.

So I need something that'll sort the mickeys out but not kill the kids or the dog, so good people of the forum, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kev

We had them at work, we used old skool traps wih chocolate placed on them.

That seemed to do the trick.

Sounds like a recipe for sore fingers with younguns around
Suppose he could leave them overnight.


How about those humane traps- the ones that starve mice to death instead?

had them earlier this year - found the hole where they came in (outside and inside) and placed poison in hole 2 days later took 2 cans of expanding foam emptied one can into the hole from the outside and one via the hole inside the house. No mouse would ever survive.

I knew a girl that was really dirty - cleanliness wise.

She had mice in her house & wouldn't kill them. Her house was a tip.

She came home from work one day to find that one of the mice was so depressed about the squalid living arrangements that it had committed suicide by drowning in the sink full of unclean pots & dishes.




At least it amuses me to think that the house was so dirty that it killed itself in desperation.
