Mouse problem! Please help!

nuffingman

I've got a mouse problem, not the thing attached to my computer, the furry little four legged bastards. They're holding a disco in the loft every night, running about and chewing up the insulation. I've tried putting down the poison bait but they turned their noses up at that. I even tried mixing it with breakfast cereal and they ate the cereal and left the poison granules.

Anyone else have this problem and did you solve it.

Have you tried traditional traps & cheese instead of poison?

this scares the shit out of me. I hate mice so much. We killed a mouse with the combination of a garden leaf blower and a heavy sewing machine. True story........

Glue traps will do the trick.

Mice aren't too bad to deal with, so long as you get them before your walls are filled with shit.

I recommend the mouse trap method if poison isn't working. Then either call an exterminator or get a cat or two

lalalalaaaaaaaa

traps

the poison doesn't really work

It's sort of like a tape strip you hang for flies, I believe.
Not a pleasant death if you are a mouse.

LOL. You live in a country where there are more creatures to kill you on land or in the sea than any other country on the planet and a mouse does this to you.

Yep. And to be totally honest with you, the deadly spiders don't scare me. I don't like them, I just go and kill them I killed a funnel web last week, and last year I killed 2 funnel webs a red back and a white tail in the space of a week. I have patted a snake. But mice and rats i can't stand.

I guess it is my fear, my phobia. Some have a fear of heights or flying etc, but the mice and rats are my weakness.

If i got a rat on the loose in my house, I would move out.

I'm about to go to sleep, I'm going to have nightmares now

Lifes just one big adventure for you isn't it. I think I've changed my mind about wanting to visit Aus.

Mice are sweet little things but very destructive. Putting a trap out yourself will most probably not solve your problem if you have a number of them. You may get one or two, but the rest will not be so stupid.
Get a professional in - one who will capture them all humanely and take them away for you. If you do want to do it yourself, get a humane cage trap, bait the mouse with crunchy peanut butter, fruit or nuts (they also have a sweet tooth and love chocolate), then release the mouse outside. Once you are rid of the mice, you need to block up any holes that let them in.

Poison is evil and cruel and the mouse is most probably going to go die in a hard to reach place. A glue trap or 'snap' trap is evil and cruel too.

We're having a serious mouse problem as well...caught 9 so far!! :eek:

What a pain. But whatever you decide to do, please, please get rid of them in a humane way.
