No probs then. Just put Tom and Jerry on.

It’s only in the bathroom spitting out that fucking peanut butter.

I have experience of this because i live in the countryside (very very rural) and I get swamped when they harvest the fields around me. I can offer the following advice

1) If you've seen one .... you've got twenty.

2) They'll be in the warmest places ... so the loft or under the emersion heater.

3) Plastic snap traps are fine... don't use catch and release because they'll come back.

4) Try and get them on a trap rather than put poison trays in the loft. Despite the fact they're only small they stink to high heaven for a couple of weeks.

5) Chocolate is the one... warmed so it becomes slightly soft and pushed onto the trap and let it set ( they can't just grab it and run) forget peanut butter.

6) You need to crack on because they will breed .... a litter every 20 days and every female in that litter will only take a month to become fertile.

7) When caught double bag them and into the bin

Good luck !

Want to borrow my cat whilst I’m in South Africa? Leaves me these on a regular basis!
 
I had the little buggers in my garage several years ago. The trashed my fishing tackle gnawing through bait tubs for pellets and chewing holes in my nylon holdall and carry all. And my landing net and keep net. They caused a lot of damage before I realised.

I then bought half a dozen wooden traps and loaded them with cheese. I caught about 20 before I got rid of them.

Purchase a 45 gallon drum of industrial strength adhesive and tip it out in all the downstairs rooms (not before installing a cable wire system so you and your family can safely move around keeping yourselves off the floor- think Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible).. All have an early night, suggest you open the upstairs windows so you don't all feel a bit light headed.. When you pop downstairs in the morning you will find the little fcuker well and truly stuck firm (probably heading towards your kitchen area). Humanly hit it several times with a heavy shovel.. Hey presto.. no mouse problem.. Beauty is this method works if you have multiple mices / mouses.. You will also be in pocket as you won't have to fork out for multiple mouse traps or expensive cheese.. Guaranteed to produce results....











Sorry, it's a bit of a slow night.. Haha!

100% guaranteed Sid and you can't get better than that although my elephant suggestion earlier in the thread which appears to have been po-pood is pretty solid too..

All I can say to the OP is... There's no f"kin mices in my house.. I'll leave it there!!

Someone has watched too much Home Alone.
 
Wooden ramp with a small wooden "wall" at the end with an upturned razor blade embedded in it. Mouse runs up the ramp, peers over the upturned razor blade and says "where's the bloody cheese then?" whilst looking rapidly from right to left. Jobs a goodun and no elephants required. Even if the elephant and / or the adhesive ideas were clearly both more elegant, practical and cost effective.

Good effort DrBlueBob, couple of points, it's not very humain on the mouse and if the OP has more than 1 mouse the others will have sussed it out what's happened to their dosey mate and steer well clear. The other point you have overlooked is, have you seen the cost of razor blades ffs costs through the roof (same with light bulbs too)... Elephants or adhesive or maybe even a sticky elephant.. Its the only 100% guaranteed way.. I don't have a mouse infestation so that's all the proof I would say you need really to confirm it works....
 
Sticky tape, glue, elephants...all cobblers. Simply buy half a ton of extremely small marbles and a swanee whistle ( the Acme ones are by far the best available ) and pour the marbles over the offending area. When the mouse appears get ready with the whistle. Hours of puerile entertainment for not much outlay.
