I've got a mouse in my kitchen

We have a cat you could borrow (you'll all have seen her picture on local lampposts - it's not only the dog who gets lost :roll:

) but on the two occasions we've had little furry guests, she has taken great pleasure in...watching them play. The only one she ever caught was already dead in a trap. :evil:

We go with Michael Traill's suggestion. Mousetraps, chocolate. And kind of chocolate. Nutella works very well. the first time, we discovered them through the half-eaten box of belgian chocolates; last time, through the hole they chewed in the cat food bag... :roll:

Honestly, our cat - who's posh cat name is Artemis - oh the irony - just let them eat her food.

Mousetraps. I hate mice. :violent2:

You can borrow Selma the Slaughterer for an evening. She caught one in here and left it under our bed to decompose for a few days before we smelt it :evil:

. At least she had the decency to leave the second one on the landing to be stood on.

I just found a small, dead mouse in the aviary where my chipmunk lives!!! :shock:

Don't know if it just died there or if the chipmunk killed it!!! But if it did, you could borrow my killer chipmunk!!! :wink:

Er that puts a different perspective on things. Where do I get mint oil? Has anyone ever tried these electonic cage things that cath the mice but don't kill them or am I making that up?

I'venot googled yet but if anyones had experience?

True!! They have it in woodwares

I talked to someone whos uses this and has caiught 3 in the last week. The traps are humane they ensnare rather than kill the mice so that you can stand on them, put them in the microwave or whatever? Will let you know how it goes.
