Why do you go into the loft to do your mincing?

Have I missed something here? Eh?

I recommend Cadbury Flake easier to melt with a little heat to grab onto the stake on the trap.

Or peanut butter (no melting required).

no, no, no.....


ASDA midget jems!!

Problem with these and chocolate is it is possible for them to knock it away from the trap eat it without getting caught. Peanut butter sticks to the trap so if they want it, they'll have to stand on the trap to eat it and they are going to get caught.

Personally, I'd save my money and buy a couple of humane traps (I think mine are called 'The Big Cheese' of something of the like) and they work wonders! I ended up catching over 40 mice that way and drove them over 2 miles away to some woodland and now I'm rodent free!

Caught our one last night after 2 days of trying - been living behind the sink unit in our new house. He was quite cute - took him across the field and let him go.

This morning, less than 12 hours later, he was back in the trap, only this time with a friend!

Now they have a new home 1/2 a mile away the OTHER side of the river - like to see him get back this time

If his friend was a Mole - then you are in trouble! Ratty & Toad will be getting the boat out as we speak!

Hmmm... has anyone had this problem and got a good / effective way of getting rid - they're keeping us awake with the noise! We have tried poison and traps and although we catch a couple, they're still here.

Anyone used the ultrasonic / electromagnetic devices and are they effective?

Be good to hear advice !

We've got 2 electric thingy's and they've made no difference whatsoever.

We've also got 3x lazy-ar$ed cats who make no effing difference either.

I put down 3x snappy-traps in our loft and they made no difference but the humane mouse trap caught and killed one of them (which it shouldn't have done - killed it that is).

Sticky paper! I've used in many times, works a treat. Give the stuck mouse a smack on the head with a hammer, corpse in the bin, job done.

If you're smart, you can peel the smashed fellas body off the sticky paper and re-use it. His fellow mice don't seem to mind the blood stains.
