I need advice on how to get rid of the mice that have taken up residence in my house. I have less than 2 weeks before my sister arrives in Perth to stay with me and she will probably get the first plane back to London if she finds out she is co-habiting with rodents!
I have several traps set up around the house and have tried peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, cheese, nuts and nutella as bait. So far I have only caught one mouse (with peanut butter). Everyday I see them scurrying in and out of my kitchen and every night they leave droppings all over my kitchen counter (which is scrubbed down every night and all food stuffs locked away securely). The galling thing is that often there will be mouse droppings in close proximity to the traps but the bait in the trap is untouched.
HELP!!! I am considering trying poison next... but who knows if they will even eat it?!
There must be a plague of mice at the moment, I trotted off to Bunnings this morning for the very same reason, and I swear they were six deep in front of all the mice killing devices.
ReplyDeleteI ended up with two traps, I also use peanut paste, and some poison.
My Pop used to make his own trap/poison, he used to use honey and into it he would add glass that he had ground up!! Said they shredded their insides! A bit nasty, painfree is better...
A cat??
ReplyDeleteI would love to get a cat but I have a feeling that my dog would object.
