How to get rid of MICE???????????/

[thatsnotmymonster]

Never had a problem before as we have a cat. However, he has decided to become lazy and is obviously pally with the mice now. We recently discovered fresh mice droppings in our real nappy drawer FGS!!!

Anyway, that's not the worst part. I went to the garage today and they have been having a riot. Loads of stuff has been torn to shreds but worst of all- they have totally destroyed the new buggy seat that we have been storing for dd2. She is still in car seat and we bought a new buggy for her (dc3) so the seat has never been used and I have just had to shell out £50 for a replacement seat pad.

To top it all off- I can't stand mice- am very mouse-phobic!!!!!!!!!!

Had pest control ouot here last week and just saw one of the furry buggers scurry across the kitchen

Have blocked many holes, airbricks, laid poison and am meticulous about putting food away... this is really starting to get me down now I'd lay traps but am too squeamish to deal with the screams and corpses.

The sonic thing is rubbish IMO, I plugged one into my hallway because all the doors open onto that and I though it would stop them from moving from room to room but they just trot straight past it.

The only really effective thing that I've used has been glue traps, but you have to check them regularly as it's a nasty, lingering death otherwise (although I'm sure poison isn't all that pleasant either).

oh i can't stand it. DH has to deal with any critter that we find as I can't go near them.

However, bizarrely, dh seems to be under the impression that mice are very solitary and if you catch one that's problem solved. I keep telling him that that is ridiculous, that if there's one there will be more and that they breed like nobody's business, but he's not having it. Weird as he was brought up on a farm

Poison them. Rather dead mice in the walls than the risk of them chewing through the electrics. Very expensive bill and risk of fire.

Mice are back here again I heard that tell tale scrtching in the roof last night.We live in the countryside in a barn conversion and they get in the gutter at the rear which is only about 5' off the ground.
After years of mouse warfare I believe only poison works.Never see the bodies but ...the smell....

Dont use poison! Smelly dead mice are not pleasant, and you can guarantee they will go somewhere very safe and hard to get to to die! There have been mixed reactions to sonic mouse repellers on this thread, but I believe they are the most effective method. I've had one plugged in for 6 months now and I haven't seen a mouse since. We haven't had to worry about leaving internal doors open because there is an electromagnetic bit in ours that vibrates the electromagnetic field around the wiring in the wall (I didn't even know that existed!). Well whatever it does, it works!! My son can't hear the noise it makes but my niece can at times, I guess because she is younger? (she can also hear bats!)
