    Default Update

    It has been over 2 weeks since I caught the mouse in the new trap. I put 4 pellets of mouse bait behind the toaster and they haven't been touched. No mouse droppings on benchtops or around the fridge. Looks like I caught the culprit, he was a fat little bugger.

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    They definetly grow immune to poisons . We gave up on ratsak after we felt like we shoud name them (kept eating it - no bodies -Went to talon was good they appear to be avaoiding it now (no bite marks -but lots of poo) also the best traps seem to be the plastic ones that work like pegs (squeese the end to set the trap) The more elaborate traps that others mention do certanly work -but in say the kitchen etc. are bulky.
    We got them now - will keep watching this post.

    Have had the horrific toaster event happen - Bread in - push down hear horrible squeeks - yes did catch one of the MFs doing what they do -our appliances go into cupboards now. (by the way left the toaster do its thing before I shook it out) Can't see a way to keep them out -1920s house (rental) essentually waiting untill they can't possibly rent the house again -demolish - break up sell $$$$$$$$ Keeping the mice out is pretty much impossibile (too many possible access points) Though did stop the RATS in the roof -appeared to be the one access hole -bit of tin can. seemed to have cured that one. But the mice - many rooms many traps avoided, many poisons on offer ignored. the HUGE problem with them is that if the skull fits the rest can follow - makes it hard with a house with many many issues, THAT you only rent. IE large gaps all over the place -stumps are ORIGINAL and timber -well 100 years -well...
    If you know of a 3rd poison would love to hear of it. when we changed from ratsak to the other one the effect was dramatic. They seem to have gotten used to the new one now. Bugger
    NUCLEAR waste -know a wesite? Probably wouldn't do them anyway.

    Possibly as a last resort (from a dog lover), borrow a cat.
