To quote myself:

So I went up to the hot press to find him. She had put yellow Michael Guiney's tape across the door, in a "Crime Scene - Do Not Cross" effect.

Found this:

I only dream of violence.

I think rat poison should kill mice.

Ok, I'm all for "live and let live" but house mice are house mice. You set them free outside they're either back into your place or they move in and annoy the neighbours (failing this they will probably die slowly from starvation and cold). They also breed prodigiously. Something has to be done.

We've all heard your solution, mousedrowner!

Drowning is the most humane way to do it. Because it's quick and they give up easily.

Anyway, what do you suggest... adopting them as pets and happily sitting by while they chew your furniture and books to make nests, relieve themselves wherever they feel like it, including in your shoes, and nibble at any food that they can reach... well?

just a brief update for you all.
i left one of the traps unset, and that trap, plus the trap to the right of it, both had the mars bar gone from them this morning. leaving me to believe there is a possibility of another mouse loose about the house.
bother. bother. bother that mouse.

 

[Goff]

I didn't want to say, but there's usually a couple of them at least.

Have you set them perpindicular to the wall? ie, small side against the wall and long ways out?

Long ways to the wall might work too but the other way worked better for me.

(I tried to do an asci diagram but that didn't work out)

my friend, you must never believe them to be gone until you have exhausted all avenues of attack and have not seen a trace of mice for a month.

Ah, but what would have been the point in me putting the willies up when it might have just been the one? Better to find out the hard way.

School of hard knockers, etc.

the disturbing thing is he managed to take the mars bar off the trap without setting it off. can they learn from other mice? has he learnt from his pals misfortune?

he may be the smartest mouse to ever live. you must destroy it, before it's too late!

The Mars Bar may have dried a bit. You'd be better off with peanut butter. And change it every night.
