Recommend me something to get rid of a mouse!

Kev, when do you want me to visit with our pet? He'll take care of any cat problems you have happily too.

Let a snake loose... I found a mouse round my nans house. we caught it and fed it to my snake

Sticky pads work a treat, but not if you have pets or kids.

For goodness sake, don't use a cat...

I used to live in a rented flat that had mice, when I bought my house, I decided to get cats (partly so I'd never have problems iwth mice again).

Now the buggers go outside, catch mice, and bring them in to show me. Even worse, they get bored, lose them in the house (still very much alive) and go back out again

I agree with earlier posters, the best bait is chocolate - just get a packet of cadburys buttons and bait a trap with one of those and eat the rest (buttons, not mice). Mind your fingers tho.

Our cat brings us mice, but he keeps the heads for himself - apparently it's to show how much they love you

Little Nippers, baited with chocolate - that's how I caught the last one in my house - next door's garden is so overgrown that there are loads of them

Just stay away from my place! I have enough issues with squirells as it is!

I used White Rabbits humane trap when I discovered the little blighters had invaded my garage as they had got wise to the little nippers. They would let one commit suicide and then the rest would nick the bait.

Cheap option is to incline an old fashioned milk bottle with some bait balanced on the top. Mouse knocks bait into bottle and then climbs in to get to bait and cannot get out. Doesn't starve to death so you get the fun of teaching pups how to start their rating careers.

Bring it down mate, I was saying to the mrs that a snake would soon sort it, she looked thrilled (read petrified) at the idea. The kids would love it.

little nippers are just old skool traps right?
