we had a field mouse, we put down a human trap, and i released it back into the wild



it was actually rather sweet, looked like a disney mouse !

lol at a human trap!

Always have mice in my flat, tbh. Can't get rid of them despite monthly visits from the mouse man (and a clean flat!). I have given up.

was getting excited about human trap before correction. do you think they will get us while we sleep? shall i replace carpet,matress and duvet? am i over reacting, although husband has been at mothers and a hotel!

mouse trap with rolos on it.
I kid you not, it actually works!

I had a really really bad mouse problem in one house i lived in about 5 years ago.

some moustraps are better than others. The countrystore ones are good

you need to see if you can find how they get/got in and lay some traps with chocolate in.

we had mice (still do in garden the buggers) and they figured out the spring traps, which i was quite relieved about as didn't want to see splattered mouse. We had ones in like a bix with poisin inside and holes either side. they could get in and nibble the poison and get out but by the time they had got out it was starting to work.

I second/third the suggestion of trap with chocolate - the little buggers love the stuff. Good luck

thanks for advice, they are getting in thru back doors to garden, i have to find some way to block it and still have it open.
