Want to post something but there isn't a thread that quite fits - thread


I've obviously got a visitor or visitors in my room tonight, I can hear them scurrying around and scratching, I'm hiding under the bedclothes hoping they don't try to join me. I've had some anti mouse deterrent I found on YouTube playing for the last hour but can still hear them. I'm desperate for the loo too!!!

Do you not have a cat or at least one you can borrow? Also get some traps and bait em with peanuts butter. Please don't mix the cat and the traps, kitty gets a right pout on with a sore paw.

No cat or don't know one I can borrow. I had a visitor last year and put traps down but never caught nothing and only saw him the once and not seen or heard nothing since till tonight. I'm gonna have to be brave and go to the loo soon 😱

I wouldn't worry about mice or rats. It's these guys i would be concerned about.

Thing is Mice do not usually live alone so if you have one you have 2 and if you have 2 mice you will soon have a lot more.

The most effective deterent is traps. Both snap traps or glue traps work though snap traps seem more humane (?) . As @Rita_Poon suggested bait with peanut butter or a few peanuts. Place the traps along the walls as usually rodents do not want to run across open spaces. Should you be successful empty and rebait snap traps or replace glue traps. If you then dont catch anything for a week your problem is likely fixed. However I'd keep the traps as if they are getting in somewhere they likely will again as it gets colder.

Cheers, This morning I went through the bedroom checking for gaps they may have come through, while moving a cupboard he shot from under and ran under bed. Have rung pest control but they can't come for a fortnight so have been up Hardware shop and got some of those bait traps. I will be on Sofa till they gone
