Griff Mouse

[lone granger]

Ok, I have had enough............

Every Autumn a blasted field mouse invades my treasured Griff in the barn and starts chewing up all the foam

Where do you think this little pest gets in - via what route?

[wwesty]

The barn door......????

[REESO]

Then probably the car door!

[lone granger]

cant imagine he has the cheek - there is a picture of a mouse with a pitchfork stuck in it - just outside....!

[lone granger]

nope, he would need the remote - which naturally I keep in a trap.....

[beano500]

All sing along, now!

"I saw a mouse..."

[lone granger]

I suppose you chaps think it is a case of 'hard cheese' (pun intended..) - well if I catch the blighter, hes for the firing squad - clogs or no clogs...

[srebbe64]

How do you know it is a field mouse - it might be a porsche driver (similar IQ)?

[Ballistic Banana]

prehaps you should park it with the Roof up/on

[lone granger]

nope, I even thought of that

Any chance of any HELPFUL replies??!!

Cat
Owl
Mousetrap
Poison
Treat the foam with something
Move the car
Lend the car to a PHer while you're not using it
Buy a gun
Encourage the mouse to go elsewhere by leaving food away from the car

LA, eh??!!

I really dont know how to respond to that little epistle, other than

Aye, ye may be reet, and ye may be no..

He might have thought that things go wrong, but it's a pity he couldn't write it.

And we think that Shakespeare writes in a funny way sometimes!

[Ballistic Banana]

theres a hole in the inner wing somewhere that leads into the drivers footwell( I think PHer simpo has it for sure, remember him talking about it).
Not sure it is on all models, also could be getting air vents somehow??

Just a couple of thoughts.
If it can get into the inner wheel arches somehow, then it could crawl through teh door sills and out through the gaps behind the seats that you access teh door lock catch.

pesky bloody mices

I remember a program about mice a while ago, it reckoned that a mouse could get through any hole big enough you could stick a pencil through(obv. it'd have to remove it's clogs first). So I reckon if you've got enough pencils you could stick one in every hole you can see.

Another hint was to chuck down some flour or talc powder and you'll see it's clog trails to the place it's getting in. Also if you get a medicated talc powder, it will help the mouse clear up any infections it may have.

have you visited the Dirty Duck yourself - great place

Give the little sod a spanner and get him to tighten up all those hard to reach bolts like the exhaust manifolds.

Then kill him

[srebbe64]

So the beast comes in before Christmas each year. I think I might know the culprit:
