My dad lives around the belfield road area and he's got mice.... seems there are a lot about: still better mice than rats: Oh and weekly bin collections may help.

I really feel for you.... get the plug ins they do work. not that cheap but for peace of mind. worth it.

Our only mouse problem to date was caused by our cat. He hadn't killed it when he brought it in. He put it down on the kitchen floor then mewed at me expecting a fuss, and the little bu**er just looked up at him then took off under the cooker! The other two cats were useless. One is scared of mice, and the other one has a built-in satellite delay.

Anyway - everyone knows there's only one way to catch mice. Buy a supply of hotdogs and chocolate muffins. At 9am leave one hotdog and one chocolate muffin on a little plate at the hole. Do nothing until 10am the following day, then leave one hotdog and one chocolate muffin on a little plate at the hole. Do nothing until 11am the following day, then leave one hotdog and one chocolate muffin on a little plate at the hole. Do nothing until 12pm the following day, then leave one hotdog and one chocolate muffin on a little plate at the hole. Do nothing until 1pm the following day, then leave one hotdog and one chocolate muffin on a little plate at the hole. Do nothing until 2pm the following day, then leave one hotdog on a little plate at the hole. When the mouse sticks its head out looking for the muffin, smack it with a frying pan.

Just been moving a few things round in bedroom and throwing hoover round and found 2 places where is has been at my carpet, one just outside my cupboard and one just inside, then the little erm yes erm monster went for me, I jumped back and tried to close the door to prevent it from escaping but it was just too strong for me and managed to get out before i could shut it, it then hid behind my wardrobe for a moment, took one look at me (beleive me, me in the mornings isnt great!) and ran away towards the cupboard. Dont quite know where it went from there but it aint gonna be staying long!!!
