The saddest words of mice and men

[Gina M]

are what might have been. I checked the van before our first trip away in two years a couple of weekends ago and I found mice droppings around the stove top I have checked everywhere and it seems we were lucky as not much damage, just a blanket I knitted with love for my now departed boy Stanley the dog but what really annoyed me was the fact that these mice had spent more time in the van than we had over the past two years

Peanut butter + mouse trap(s)

They might still be there fast asleep!

Gave you a hug for that but have a for the last line.

Caught our visitor last week in under the fridge. Trapped with peanut butter.

Rats love peanut butter aswell. This time of year there isn't much to eat in the surrounding fields, so they migrate into our garden, but we are careful about leaving out any rubbish for them to sift through.
Peanut butter has been the last hearty meal of many a condemned rodent the last couple of months ..

We used to put a piece of chocolate on the traps at the golf course.

We had a lucky escape I think. I used to leave the van door open in the hot summer to ventilate and looks as though the mice had a scout around and then left. I was dreading looking at the mattress on the bed but all was fine. I am a big softie I'm afraid I use the trip trap mouse traps and let them go on the field when I catch them. I had a B&B mouse on Sunday morning in the house he ate the biscuit I left him in the trap and he fell asleep until I took him outside and set him free. I did tell him not to come back

He/she will bring the family next time.

I count myself lucky that the woman next door has three cats and that they are always on the prowl....they appear to have cleared the area, having brought her in a series of "presents".

I think it is my fault we have mice because I feed the birds and there is birdseed all around the ground under the feeding station. I keep saying I am going to clean it all up but I don't

Probably Woodmice. The small brown ones with big ears and eyes. When Spring arrives they should go back to their natural environment. Well, that's the general idea, so make sure there is no incentive for them to stay inside or near the MH!

Could be worse. Mess under my bird feeders sometimes attracts brown rats ... not my rats, of course, they come from the neighbours' gardens ...

Takes me back to when my Stanley was a puppy, he dragged a badly decomposed rat from our hedge and was happily chewing on it's tail.

We stopped feeding the birds because of that

We had a rat on the lawn last summer eating birdseed. Jack our terrier cross killed it on day 3.
