We've had mice in the house for at least a month - since the temperature outside started dropping - but I'm getting a bit frantic trying to get rid of them. First of all we tried 'live' capture, but now I just want them all dead!
They seem savvy to just about anything - traditional snap traps, glue traps, boxes. We've just spent 30 quid on an electronic zapper with no success so far. It's horrible - I've heard nibbling behind built-in cupboards where our broadband/comms wires go and this morning there was a little pile of nibblings round a hole in our living room floor. What's that about?
I am extremely reluctant to use poison as we have a 13 month old dd and I do not want any chance of her finding it. We are pretty good at clearing her crumbs and keeping food sealed. The only food that I try to keep available is the peanut butter that's in the traps, but I maybe there's always something they can get. I suppose I could stick poison down behind a locked cupboard, if pushed.
Can anyone help on this? We're getting a bit desperate.
Thanks
Poppy
