he is very cute, which is why i could never kill them....
cat isnt an option as Bruno would eat the cat !!!

will give that a go - however we arent exactly sure where they are coming from as think its behind the kitchen units where the pipes come in...so would have to take the units out.
will give it a bash although its a waste of a lovely bourbon biscuit !! lol
he likes the peanut butter - but is wise at getting it out of the trap.
nice thanks for the lovely image shona pmsl.
couldnt do that either !! told you am a wuss, would rather catch them and release them somewhere else
indeed !! just got to find the rest of his family now !

Problem is, that unless you catch all of them, and take them miles and miles away, they will just come back!

A pair of mice can have about 7 or 8 babies I'm sure, and the babies are sexually mature at about a couple of months old, and will mate with each other.

We had mice in our garage/shed and within about a month of me ignoring them, hoping we'd co-exist, they had eaten all my winter stored fruit and veg; plant seeds and bulbs, got into the dog and chicken food; and even chewed through electric flex.

We got rentokil in... tho' I must admit to staying well out of the way!

am off to get one of them anyway as its worth a try isnt it. But if they are already here I wonder whether it will get rid of them....or do they just not like the sound waves or whatever and escape....


yes we have neighbours downstairs not above, they have only just moved in. I think the mice are living under the floor and coming up through a gap where the pipes come up as everywhere else is tiled to the wall so they couldnt get through, if they are in the floor/wall then that plug in thing might work.. No i dont think putting in the garden would make any difference as i think they will just get in again, but this was a baby and i just couldnt kill it but had nothing to put it in to take it anywhere either. i put him in long grass at the bottom of the garden so hopefully it will take him a while to get back home and perhaps he might get sidetracked on way !! LOL

i am off to invest in some better humane traps as the one we have is just a tray of food as far as this mouse is concerned. We have only ever seen a big bluey coloured one ( not rat though definetly mouse ) and then this baby one. I know that they can make you ill and if werent for the fact that they were in my kitchen i might be a bit less bothered but eeek i dont want them in there.

Maybe get a cat in for a few days and get rid of bruno for a few days if it comes to it !!

Sonic mouse scarer here too - after we got rid of the first infestation ( thanks to Spotty, first jack russell ) we have never had any more!

hi

can you advise which mouse repeller plug ins you use - they seem to start from about £7 and go up to £47 !!!

which brand do you have ?

heavens - that's a question - we've had ours maybe 10 years plus.. can't see any name on it

how about google sonic mouse repeller for brand names and then google reviews of the brand you're interested in?

I have to say without seeing how big that was my first thought was it was a baby rat..... it has a ratty face.

We have field mice and house mice here.... and rats being in the country. When we had a mouse infestation in the garage I used the humane traps, then collected the mice and drove them to the nature reserve and let them go!
Of course I also have Tonto, who would eat them if he could (he did chew a few of the traps up out of spite) and Abigail the cat, who often deposits pressies for us on the front lawn.... like a baby rat just the other day!

I have to say, I thought that too, it doesnt look very small, the adults kobi kills are prob smaller {we have a field right at the back of the house,,,
I did think it looked a tad ratty,,,sorry,, how big was it dani?

def a mouse it was tiny - thats my hand and its sitting in a microfibre cleaning cloth that isnt very big - even though it looks a tad like a towel in that picture . he was no more than 2 inches long. and very thin. def just a baby.

I would go for the pipes being the entry point just had to be at most difficult place

Chocolate or bacon is worth trying in a trap hope they go as quick as they came!!
