It skittered under the covers, whilst I skittered to the living room at the other end of the house (in about two steps!)<br /><br />At least it wasn't as bad as the time one ran up my leg out by the corn crib....hee hee.<br /><br />The reason they suggest peanut butter for mice is because they can't just yank it off and eat it elsewhere like the could with a bit of cheese. While they are trying to get that sticky peanut butter off...SNAP!!<br /><br />What will you name your kitty cat?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-77307151023590138632009-06-23T11:04:48.089-04:002009-06-23T11:04:48.089-04:00Our daughter use to buy just those little cheap wo...Our daughter use to buy just those little cheap wooden mouse traps, because she wasn't about to open and let the dead ones fall out and reuse. She also set out D-con on the enclosed back porch when she lived on the farm. She wasn't sure what was coming in there, but it was larger than a mouse, since it carried the box of D-con off. The flies were the same way here, one or two in the window in the morning but by around 1pm, way too many. I found the best way was to squish them between paper towels, because like I said, they were very slow moving.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-87799033014892586432009-06-23T10:42:51.065-04:002009-06-23T10:42:51.065-04:00You probably won't have mice once you have a c...You probably won't have mice once you have a cat.

We had to resort to the 'snap' you're dead sort and one evening caught three, it kept snapping and snapping! We used Mars bar to trap it and they loved it.. then we went round and filled every gap in our skirtings... we are now mouse free but shhhhhh don't let those little b------ hear or they might get back to us.. <br /><br />Love to live in the open country like you, we live in a 1920's terraced house in Coventry city but have an allotment where we sit and enjoy the open space and the bird song.. altho those little varmine are there too! plus the cutest little rabbits and deer! Yes deer, so all our veg is surrounded by chicken wire fencing to keep them off<br /><br />Chris xChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332613086771922320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-82581883310691327822009-06-23T08:08:30.154-04:002009-06-23T08:08:30.154-04:00oh my.goodness.
