malumbu Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I thought they were really cute. They only came in for warmth and food. They'd be clever so and sos and not seem to follow the mouse code in terms of their runs. I'd catch them occasionally and they'd try to knaw through the plastic trap. You'd watch telly late at night and suddenly you'd see one. Did try and catch them by hand but can they run quick.I blocked up a ventilation hole and they went.They never bred under the floor boards.I don't miss them, just not particularly freaked out by them. Fox/cat/dog poo in the garden far worse. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/46262-mice-problem/page/2/#findComment-855631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Could say the same about humanity. At least mice don't go around comiting mass genocide in the name of religion and/or politics. The complacency of human beings never fails to astound me. Louisa.

root Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 We had a couple of mice sneak in a few months ago but my old cat despatched them before we even noticed we had guests. The first time the cat even dragged the dead rodent to the baby to play with. Gross and endearing in equal measures.
