Mice

[shokenore]

Have any of you any suggestions for the removal of mice from the garage?

I have "promised" the children I won't use a poison and have seen some using Peppermint Oil,can any one give any recommendations?





If that does not work would any of you have any other suggestions?

50/50 cement powder and cornflour was one I have seen.

Peanut butter on the end of a long strip of wood that is balanced so when the mice run along it they fall into a bucket.




Take the bucket into the garden and hose it with the AK47.

You can get live traps so catch them and promise the kids you'll 'release' them at work.

Go to the local cat rescue and let your kids adopt a kitten ...

[j.hell]

You can borrow our Cats, they love to play with mice





















usually not a lot left when they bring them home

As above you can get live traps. Used one before successfully.

And leave it in the kitchen for you to stand on in the morning bare footed....

The best way other than Poison is using Self Set Traps, the ones where when you pull the spring arm over the catch sets itself. Use a Finger size peice of Twix " I do work for Mars " and push it Toffee side snugly onto the spike. You could make a small wooden channel to go over the trap to cover it. I dont beleive in live traps as if your not prepared to drive a mile or so away they could come back. Kill the little sods they chew everything and will be making nests this time of year.......

At first I laughed at the image of using such fire power,but now I am not so sure your were joking

A flute?

It worked on rats but would it transfer to mice?

NO NO NO no more pets

Will probably be the final solution

Thank you to all that posted your solutions,but stage one will be Peppermint Oil closely followed by the Self Set Traps (discretely hidden from wife and childrens view)

Cats are NOT pets - they are psychopathic killers that are prepared to let you live with them in exchange for food and warmth !
