Mice

I have to say, I can't bring myself to use inhumane methods of ridding my life/house of mice, having had a pet mouse as a companion for 4 years in my early teens. Since then, I have bought myself a number of 'humane traps' - a cage of sorts that they can enter but not escape from because of the size of the entrance. I normally put some food (chocolate works a treat) inside.

I take it you do not have a cat? If you do, it must be pretty lazy:-) But that's what you need - a lean mean feline killing machine.

For the big ones, I buy a pack of Racumin powder and pour it over bread, cooked rice or any tempting left over food. I use the sticky Baygon flypaper for small ones. I find them very effective especially the flypaper that never fails to catch those mice passing under my computer table!

We have used Decon to get rid of mice. Or you could get the snapping wooden traps. Our landlord sent us an exterminator, and he brought us sticky traps, and they did not work very well.

go to a hardware store and get a live trap. trap them and then take them away to the woods or somewhere. anything else is barbaric.

I heard a good way is to take some mixed nuts you may have or pieces od sweet fruit and trail it up a little ramp you make which leads to a steep bowl. The theory is the mice will follow the trail of goodies into the bowl where there is more goodies and get stuck since they can't get out. Then you can do with them as you please.
