loriusgarrulus Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The other thing about mice is they rot fast. I once found a freshly dead one in the hall we had Brownies in. Put it in my bag I used for Brownies intending to add it to my "treasure" collection. Mum found it very quickly. :( Edited February 19, 2015 by loriusgarrulus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 We had rats under the decking feeding off the bird seed, so stopped the bird seed and put poison down after they had gone the wife tried to put more seed out a month or so they were back, so rinse a repeat but this time changed the bird seed to sunflower hearts as there is very little waste left by the birds and the rats have not come back.
