i bought a mouse trap, put a bit of soggy bread on it, will that do? :)
thanks for the link, it's more serious than i thought :O
don't forget the rubber gloves & protective mask if you catch it.
I guess soggy bread will do, I never tried it like that.
post a picture if you do get it, would be nice to see :lol:
ok i'll try, still nothing there..i havent seen the mouse since i put the poison down, it could be dead somewhere, it always runs into the gap under the door - into the cupboard under the stairs. :lol:
:"(
he should be playing in the garden :-(((((((((
what do you want me to do? call the RSPCA to come and catch it?
Get a pump action shotgun and go for it.
Nice one :)Quote:

my paintball gun canister is empty :D
The trouble with poison is that the rodent will die somewhere in your house that is usually not accessible and decompose. Traps are the best method but you will be wasting your time if you put them in the wrong place.
They need to be against a wall on the rodents travel path.
Unless the rodent entered through an open door you will also need to go around your house and fill in any holes that could be an entry point. These can be very small as a full grown mouse can squeeze though a hole about the same size as the girth of a finger (which one depends on the size of your fingers)
Also they breed at an alarming rate, so a lone female left could turn into a huge problem
