but first I bought an expensive electromagnetic / ultrasonic deterent as the mice seemed to be living in the wall cavity, making lots of noise, sneeking out at nightand shitting all over the house. It had to stop.</p> The electronic gizmo drove them out of the wall but into the rest of the house. I reckon they are living behind the kitchen cupboards somehow.</p> Bought a humane trap and with chocolate bait bagged missen a large mouse onchristmas eve. It was before I went to bedso I looked the little blighter in theeye and placed the trap back on the floor to take 2 miles form home and release in the morning. Got up in the moning and the little bugger had escaped!!</p> Today had to face the harsh reality that only a nasty spring loaded gadget was going to do the trick so I bought a couple from Wilko this aft.</p> Low and behold with a bit more quality chocolate bait the trap is sprung and we have our fisrt casualty(RIP)</p> I do feel sorry for the little bugger butthey have to go and having explored the non violent solution I was left with no option given the presence of somuch rodent shitin the house in conjunction with my inquisitive 2 year old.</p> At least he had a decent last meal -Mars celebrations.(angel) </p>
Pedantic moment Celebrations are Mars...........Cadbury do Heroes! Which one did you use? Would you recommend a particular one? I'd call you cruel but I'd just set my cat on them!
Pedantic...you? Tha reight though..Mars Celebrations.</p> Galaxy truffle to be precise.</p> Milky Way Magic Stars worked in the humane trap however they seemed to give the mouse the edge and he worked out an escape route.</p>
Very harsh but fair. To be honest I am much quieter in recent years. It stems from my family, they are the noiseist people in the known universe. My dad can't say owt bart sharting. Went to my grandmothers on Christmas day morning and after they all left the silence was deafening.
