A mouse in my greenhouse!

Hi everyone, I just spotted a mouse in my greenhouse. They don't bother me, but am wondering if it's likely to do any damage. I have tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and cucumbers in there.

 

Well I'm not an expert but I would of thought that it would probably eat you vegetables

 

i should think it would love to munch your veg.

 

You do mean aside from peeing all over your edibles?

 

No worse then having you neighbours cat do the same on you outside veg...:ywn:

 

Don't forget the pooping. Get a cat.

 

Mousetrap?

 

Hmm I need to take action! I think the only thing they can reach easily are the strawberries as everything else is up high. I'll make sure I get him out and block the lower part of the doorway as I tend to leave it open a bit for ventilation. Thanks all!

 

They must have picked it up off the snails because their capabilities merit them a starring role in the next mission impossible film.

 

Not something I would want in our greenhouse pooing, peeing climbing over your food stuff I would put a trap down and sort the little critter out.

We had a mouse in our large cold frame the other day so we ended up taking all the plants out and getting the mouse out.

Now I know Bob doesn't like rats but I didn't realise that mice make him jumpy too, it was so funny seeing Bob jumping around more than the mouse but I'm afraid I had to play murderer and brick the pest to death.... I even had to take it's lifeless body away too as Bob refused to touch it even with kitchen paper around it!:D Hel.xxx.

 

Well I don't want to kill it, just get it out of there and stop it getting in. I'm not afraid of mice, it's spiders that send me running into the house. Came across quite a biggie the other day. I swear they're getting bigger every year. Errgh!

 

I had a woodmouse as a pet and it used to run across the top of the inside of the cage! Up-side-down, in other words. They are acrobats par excellance !!

 

Trap it and be done, mice are vermin and spread disease as well as causing damage. Since mice can get through a pencil sized gap by constricting their bodies you will not keep it out.

 

I have to agree with Pro Gard, leave it and get more, kill it and be done. Your choice.
Oh, don't bother with a cat, its like mice liking cheese, its for the TV / movies

(O.K. some cats will kill mice, most will just play with them)
