What to do with mice?
Hi
What to do with mice ?
If you had mice in your house what would you do ?
I had a lively debate with my family this morning about how to deal with this problem. We live in a very country cottage surrounded by fields. Having mice in a place like this is inevitable, but they have become a real nuisance recently, it has come a point where they 'invade' our kitchen on a regural basis. At the moment we are using live mouse traps and just let them out about 50 meters away from the house, but either they keep coming back or there is so many of them that those few that do get cought don't make much difference. No one wants to kill the mice as they appear to be nice and 'friendly' creatures, but at the same time they are vermins plundering our kitchen. Today I wanted to get normal mice traps, but the idea wasn't very welcome to the rest of my family, they just don't want to kill them and I do agree to a certain point with what they are saying, but you have to draw a line somewhere, don't you? The conclusion of the dabate was that we would increase the number of live traps and let the mice out much farther and see how it goes.
Getting a cat is out of the question, because we have two dogs that would not tolerate it.
So, what would you do if you had mice in your house?
