Its brown with a long tail and just darted from behind my tv
I just s.it myself cos i thought it was a spider :cheesy:
Mice dont bother me its spiders that freak me out
He was quite cute but seems to be gone for the minute
Dp is filling the holes where it looks like it has gotten in with stones (only thing we have at the minute lol)

Wilko's sometimes sell traps, I think or a garden centre if you don't have a local hardware shop.
Bate the humane trap with peanut butter!

Mice are cute!! I used to get upset when my Grandad laid traps! We'd all used to sit up as quiet as possible so they'd come out but then he had enough so he got some traps. I was only little and begged him not to!!

my cat is a great mouser! she caught loads, a problem that seems to occur with the chickens, plus a very old area that had mice before the chickens, personally I like Rats much better, they make great pets!

One of my cats , Ghost, is always bringing in mice, well half mice, alive too. I could be sick... she did it when I was pregnant, and I was so emotional, I was crying lol.. its her way of a present tho, and we have to "pet her up" then dispose of it discreetly.
Then she brings another one.... yuk.

God, how can you be so calm. I can't stand mice so would be doing a Goldie Hawn in the film "Bird on a Wire" when she find a cochroach in the shower.

Me toooo! I had to get something out of the top drawer in the kitchen and there was a pile of leaves and lots of droppings! :smiley-fa The next morning it had nibbled holes in the fruit...
I've laid traps and want to get the little vermints. Hate the idea of them running around my kitchen, yuk. This morning it had sprung one of the traps and taken the chocolate bait. Now there's one trap with chocolate surrounded by other traps. :whip-new:
My best buddy says she would knit them little coats and put them on tiny coat hooks by the back door. :no:
Might get me a :bigeyes:
