you need one of these, best mouser I've ever seen, Bella! edit: oh, wait a minute, that's right, she brings them home alive and releases them for us to chase.
Mice are effectively incontinent. They urinate constantly over anything and everything on their travels. That may change your mind about eradication.
thinking about it, i guess we do have a moos problem. not so much me, but the cat. the fecker wont give him a minuets peace. but he is only a pup. and funnily enough, a good mouser. he catches and eats them when at the stables. a rare moment of togetherness. moos the dug and biscuit the cat.
I spoke to my neighbours while I was out in the garden. The mouse lives in their greenhouse. Apparently, the Misses have gone all maternal and feeds it! There were two, but they found one dead, a while ago. They have a dog, but everybody seems to get along! I'm hoping that it was just a one-off. There is no food about, so no reason to come in. I have RING motion detector cameras in the garage and workshop. I do remember my garage one, that is on a shelf, being set off by a mouse some time ago.
I recently became aware of a unwelcome visitor, catch it early on was on my mind and I put some industrial strength poison down ( available to farmers and the likes only ) I found out a few days later where the nest was, my neighbour 2 doors down was not impressed with the smell ……..
