How to catch a mouse

Thank you for 'this page' I have to laugh as if I had to call the bat carer out at this rate I would have to offer him bed and breakfast

Very good read though... I think we are getting them in due to the very wet weather if I'm being honest all that I have helped back into the wilderness seem very healthy. I think their port of entry is the bathroom window which Mr AB opens after his shower in the morning..... 5am usually. I've told him to keep it shut so for the last week and half I've not seen any.... unless they are hiding under the bed

 

Make sure you wear gloves when you handle them Apple Blossom, their bite is lethal and they could trigger an infection in you. Bats seen in daylight or unusual circumstances could be unwell.

 

I know Sheal....... up until I read 'this page' kindly sent by FC, I haven't been wearing gloves... I do washed my hands thoroughly after handling one.... but yes.... good advice... should more be found

 

New traps arrived today. I got 2 each of two different models. One set branded Big Cheese or something, the other set branded Rentokil. Caught Mickey 5 within minutes of setting the new traps.

Does anyone know how many there typically are in one mouse family? I currently have no idea whether I'm winning or losing.

I made a good start at tidying the outhouse yesterday. I discovered that the mice have burgled every single one of my packs of seeds, they've bust the lads inflatable dinghy, and nibbled a hole right through my old leather. The Leather was already dead, as mentioned on my other thread, butI didn't want the mice to defile it all the same.

 

Based on this, should I consider using poison?

 

I think I might have found and destroyed the nest last night. A cardboard box that I had been keeping old plant pots in had what looked like shredded paper, seeds, bits of fluff etc in it, about 2 inches deep.

I kind of stuck for a few days before I can finish clearing, as I can't make further progress til I've been to the tip at the weekend, so there are still plenty of alternative hideouts.

 

I wanted that game for ages when I was a kid, but never got it. Then screwball scramble came out and I wanted that instead, and never got that either. Except one day I did. My mam was trying to have a serious chat with someone, but I was nagging, so I got paid to go away for an hour. I ran full sprint all the way to the shop. I was right proper pleased with my purchase. I played it at every opportunity for about 3 days, then got bored of it.

 

Seems like your wish has finally been granted, my friend
