Yikes, you poor thing, I have to admit our outside(slightly stray) cat is coming to live inside at the first sign of a mouse.
What about the really expensive strong sonar things that hurt their ears and make them move out?

alexsmilitantmum · 10/08/2006 23:17

well i declare!!!!!!!

myturn · 10/08/2006 23:18

You can have mine - just paid £50 today for vaccinations and they are due them again in two weeks. If you will pay the next £50 you can gladly have them to demiceify your home!

Quootiepie · 10/08/2006 23:19

Marcus.... mice live in packs... you probably have about... 20 running around

What I want are those lovely men in those horrid boiler suits that do nasty things to them and make them go away and never return!

The thought of more than one turns my stomach.... Knowing my luck DT2 will chow down on one in the morning!

myturn · 10/08/2006 23:24

Why? Will you really pay the £50 vaccination costs first? For that I post them first class from Scotland to you.

alexsmilitantmum · 10/08/2006 23:25

honestly get on to rentokil in the morning and they will sort you out.that is what we did when we had them.
make sure ther are no food crumbs ANYWHERE! hoover like mad!

alexsmum.... it's the DTs. I swear they think that they are Hansel and Gretel. Will hoover like a maniac tomorrow.

Myturn... if you could get them here tonight I would! However, Rentokil it is! Bet that costs me a fortune. Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!

Now I'll lie in bed dreaming of them chewing up the downstairs.

As alexsmilitantmum says, make sure there is absolutely NOTHING they can eat. I inadvertantly left a feast for mice by leaving a bag of potatoes in the bottom of one of my cupboards. Eurgh. Makes my stomach churn at the thought of it. Rentokil is the best option.

alexsmilitantmum · 10/08/2006 23:34

if you don't want to hoover now because of the noise get a broom out and go over the floor before you go to bed because sure as hell nightime is when they are going to come a callin!

What if I leave the lights on?

If I sweep they're bound to come out and scare the bejeebers out of me!

alexsmilitantmum · 10/08/2006 23:41

lights on won't make a difference it's the quiet and peace they like

MarscusGarvey · 10/08/2006 23:42

Ok my no 1 tip for trying to sleep in a house where there may be mice is earplugs. I can't sleep if I keep on thinking I hear scuttling so earplugs do the job.
Sleep well tonight and hoover like a mad woman tommorow

myturn · 10/08/2006 23:54

Silly me didnt realise it was you Mars!!! You can have the cats for free
