I borrowed a humane mouse trap, the type which leaves the mouse alive, and caught two, and released them in a field. When we had rats, however, I wasn't so kind and set snap traps and rat poison.

One of my best discoveries was the sort of mouse trap which has a lever to set the spring (Rentokil call it an advanced mousetrap) which minimised the risk of either trapping my fingers or having my fingers come in contact with the corpse. Well done on tackling the mouse at the first sign of it - I have many times tried to ignore them and that never worksFrugally challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222391810215537820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-9327029354333222672014-12-06T08:20:29.058+00:002014-12-06T08:20:29.058+00:00Oh I feel for you.....living where we do in a very...Oh I feel for you.....living where we do in a very rural area surrounded by fields, we have mice too. I accept that we will never conquer the mouse problem, but I do wish they'd stay outdoors where they belong. I don't mind too much seeing the odd one scurry along the floor but, like you, I detest one being on my kitchen worktops....luckily that's only happened the once. Well, I've only seen it once, that doesn't of course mean to say that they don't get on them during the night! Hence I keep a bottle of disinfectant spray out and use it to wipe down the worktops every morning. I've learnt to dispose of the bodies and re-arm the traps when husband's at work....well, it's either that or have to look at the poor little body until he gets home!Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
