Mouse in the house

brown*eyed*girl

Well as it says above I have a mouse, well more likely mice in the house. Spotted one yesterday morning, absolutely tiny little thing. Keep thinking of Tom and Jerry's little mouse so I won't be scared of them but its freaking me out:o . Before I get some traps I remembered someone telling me years ago you can get a plug in thing that lets out a screeching sound that only the mice can hear that deters them. Anyone ever use these and are they any good. Also what price range? Any advice welcome.

Hope this is the right forum, move if necessary.

Hi, there have already been many posts on the problem of mice and rats recently. Here are some links:

Cheers Shamrok will check them out

Edit: after reading those links think I'll go with the traps and skip on the screeching thingy. Seems a bit expensive when they don't work that well.

Love the joke!!

If all else fails, stand up on a chair and wait for the mouse to go past and then jump right down on top of the poor little thing

Hi,

One mistake to avoid, a gent I was speaking to was puzzled at the number of mice he was catching when all they had seen was two, turned out he was using a mouse friendly trap and releasing them in the back garden every morning

Cats are Ok but not as much fun as a Jack Russel, I used to release him in the attic and we could hear him running between the joists of the dormer roof .

Get down to your local co-op and buy a bag of poison. It comes in the form of little blue blocks and is very effective although it has to be handled carefully.
