    Had a problem with the little bleeders myself earlier in the year. Get some of those old fashioned wodden spring loaded traps. I found baiting them with raisins worked a treat. Don't make the mistake I did at the start though of setting them too firm. Set them on a hair trigger & you'll catch the lot in a few days.

    Do you want to borrow our cats?

    They're fab at mouse catching. They even eat them so you don't even have to dispose of the bodies!

    Or chocolate works

    Had a problem with em years ago when I was a student - several strategically placed traps on hair triggers baited with a bit of Dairy milk did the trick. several squashed rodents later we were clear

    Whatever you do,

    don't get them bloody horrible sticky things. Don't know if you can still buy them, but the mouse used to get on them and couldn't get off. Used to die from exhaustion. Horrible to see.

    Will I need some conductivity paste to fit the fan?</p>

    Is that other board a sound card of some description?</p>

    We were over run with um about 6 weeks ago..........humain traps

    Had humain traps set all over the house (because I'm a big softy and don't like killing things unless I have to)
    Problem with these traps is - you have to walk down field to empty them and if there is young small mice in the house sometimes those types of trap dunt catch um, cos they are too light to set the trap off
    So went to B & Q and bought 10 old fashioned traps for £2 - that sorted the problem out

    RE: PMSL

    Nah. That fan is immense. You'll not need any thermal paste.
    The sound is onboard. The other card is a network card.
    I think blueyonder connect the cable modem via USB these days so you might not need it.

    I tried chocolate

    but couldn't get it on a hair trigger. I found raisins far easier to use, especially after squishing them a bit!
