How do I get rid of :- - SV650.org

Just seen a field mouse in the garden. Seen one so there must be more.

The wife puts out nuts/seeds for the tweets, so I guess that is probably attracting the vermin. Telling her to stop would be a waste of time.

Poisons are not a good idea with a dog having free reign.

So how do I get rid of the mice. I have just set a trap. but cannot leave it in place if the dog is out.

you need lots of miniature signs "This is NOT a field" job jobbed. they'll soon be off when they see their error in judgement, an easy mistake to make.

Put the traps (and I mean several) in small places where the dog cannot get to them. When getting rid of rats that were burrowing under my compost bin the poison traps came with instructions to place them in corners or against a wall/fence. Vermin usually hug the edges and find their way in to the box-like enclosures that came with the kit. Found just one bloated dead one - the rest thankfully died somewhere else. I expect it will work the same wit mice.

hi you will never get rid of all the field mice out side , you can use bait , all baits take aleast seven days to kill a mice once eaten , the best way to put it down with out the dog getting it cut a bit of drain pipe in harf and long ways , then but the bait in there , mice will get it but dog wont , if dog did , it would need to get a lot to affect it , if you were woried you just take dog to vet and get a k1 injection . . if it was rats , find burrow , and place bait in bag and put on sting and put down hole , and cover it in , then when you go to check it you just pull up string , if its mice you can get wax block poisson , which you can put string through it and tie it to some thing save the mice carrying it away , good luck but as long as there not getting into your house then why worry , they need some where to live , ps been and still am in pest control for 15 years now ,
