Thought about using poison, but then you don't know if they actually have been killed....unless they crawl off somewhere to die & you get a plague of flies...


So we've got some nice simple traps. Set the trap. Splat. Bin the mouse. Re-set the trap...
Yeah - all very well in theory - but those mice are cunning, they can remove food from traps without harming themselves!
When I had 'visitors' a few years back I started out with the traps which failed dismally - and after a couple of weeks I put the poison down, carefully because of the dog catching them (!) You will soon know if one dies and is hidden somewhere - the smell of rotting mouse is - erm - distinctive to put it mildly!
