I live rurally in an old cottage so of course, there’s mice. Normally they appear during winter in the outbuildings and I ignore them. This year, they’re in the walls. All the walls. All I can hear on an evening is the scratching and it’s in every room. I have humane mouse traps down, they’re in cupboards and under the skirting boards all the time. They never catch anything, the mice aren’t inside, they’re literally in my walls. If I turn the lights on outside at night, I’ve seen them run up the draining pipes. It’s a really old rented cottage, it has gaps and cracks and that’s clearly how they’re getting in, but how do I get them out? I don’t want to put traps down because I can’t face emptying them, and k think it’s probably quite a big scale problem now. But I’m worried if I put poison down then any cats that chase the mice might get poisoned too? I’ve looked and animal safe mice poison is a complete oxymoron and not happening. What do I do? I can’t live like this, it’s waking my kids at night, it’s waking me, it’s awful!
