Frenchieboy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Want to borrow my double 12? I've not had a shot with it yet so you might as well have a go with it, as long as your neighbours are understanding or deaf! He, he, he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 If your in rented then your landlord should get pest control in, sounds like there is an investation nearby. Shoot them in the meantime, keep you entertained while there's football on the box, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 You need to build one of these.... They look like a great plan as they 1. reset themselves and 2. can catch loads of mice. I couldn't find the best video I've seen using one of these but one bloke caught about 30 in one night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Some cats seem to catch mice and some don't, we have had both varieties. Chocolate in the standard mouse trap works very well, but if you are catching them and they are still appearing, then you do need to find the source of the infestation, or where they are getting in (neither is easy).

Ozzy Fudd Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 only time theres ever been trouble in this house with mice/rats is when theres been no cat. even if theyre not the mouse catching type i think the mice can smell them and stay away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 We had a mouse problem in our garage and potting shed. The OH, being an animal lover, insisted on going for the live catch option. Ok, so we tried that and after the fourth time of catching what we thought could be the same mouse, I bought a couple of the classic type spring trap (like the nipper ones). Baited with peanut butter, as I heard that works well, and now after 15 deadun's we seem to be on top of the situation. We keep the traps baited. Haven't caught anything in the garage for 2 months or more now. Last mouse in the potting shed was last weekend but that was after nearly 4 weeks of no activity. The thing is, in the garage we have stuff in boxes on shelves and they pretty much p'd & **** over everything as well as chewing up anything that could be chewed. Very destructive, dirty little *******. My advice, get a proper mouse trap and a jar of peanut butter. At least you won't have some cat lording it up at your expense :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Simple. Put a brick down by the skirting board. Make sure the hollow of the brick is uppermost. Place some chocolate and some raisins in the hollow of the brick. Sprinkle the chocolate and raisins with some Pepper. When the Mouse goes to get the chocolate and raisins then he will sneeze and smash his head open on the brick. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Get some cats, then when the mice have gone, you can shoot the cats To be fair though, I ******* hate cats, and would rather have mice, try some little nipper traps baited with chocolate spread or peanut butter. Or as dougy said, call the landlord and give him something to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon chasser Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Theres some good ideas there and the youtube clip looks like a good idea but i might fill the bucket with a water a few inches or buy a snake and put it in the bucket lol. i have been thinking of putting a bit bored down and baiting it and getting a .177 air gun while the fussballs on. much more fun. would be nice to have a landlord but we own the place so my problem. The brick idea madde me and the miss's chuckle. i think i'll a veriarty of traps round the place and see which works best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune82 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Whenever I have a problem with mice I like to do a few all nighters waiting up for them with the .22-250. 40 grain v-max does a grand job on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
