Looks like you have it covered, keep checking the traps and if you catch it reset the traps and keep them out all winter, we always set them under the lofts in the winter ( I actually have one set inside the stock loft also)

I set mines on Monday and they will be Set and checked daily throughout the winter, I got a mouse this morning.

cheers i think i found it pritty early as i keep my corn stored sealled containers and saw wood chippings near them cos they are near the door but i didn't see the hole proberbly cos i was stood on it, so i i think they may have been in there 3 days at tops hopefully because i found the nest that will be the end ,and cleaned the shaed top to toe and everything in it just don't want to leave any stone unturned because i am very overlooked and i shouln't have my pigeons here anyway so could do with out the neighbours noticing.

The Rats will be looking for a new home so keep checking the traps and look to see if the poison is gone, you may find a drunken looking rat during the day, it will be a poisoned one.

Rats and mice love chocolate as bait if you choose to go down the trap route

[just ask me]

dont put out to much poison as they will store it not eat it

get some porridge oat keep them dry or raisins add to the oats or raisin or both a handful of dry wall powder mix dry in a bowl and leave in a dry area you will find your rat or mink about 6 feet from it dead

This is the time of year when they are looking for somewhere warm. Be vigilant! Set traps and keep a check on them.

what is dry wall powder?

[walterboswell59]

is it not plaster m8 heard cement powder works the same way

[andy Burgess]

for me , I have twice had trouble with mice , and despite finding the entry point and securing it , even with galvanised sheet , they still made an entry point . however after spraying the timber area with "straight" Jeyes - fluid , that worked

[Guest bigda]

what is dry wall powder?

 

get a bowl you can mix in dry coco powder, cornflour, oats and raisins then use cement fine portland or blue circle mix in then leave in a dry place but keep away from yer dog

mix up about the size of a clay pot half full wall bonding is also good. this takes mice and rats but most time when you have mice, you dont have rats 50% cement to 50%coco or half coco and half cornflour 25% each if mice about dont put in raisins they take to long to eat them, lol

doh cos guys don't do it all the time. take mice out your garden, then the next door ones move into you, but you get 2 weeks rest bite, then it starts again most gardens have about 80 mice, but this cost very little and mice dont smell when they die, setting traps every day is to slow

first of all dont talk a load of sh** mice dont smell when they die, kill one and put it in your living room then come back and tell me if it smells or not, the other mixture you are on about if used safely probably would do but u know and i know that 50 percent would just through it under any hut, doocote killing a lot more than it was intended for use the traps

Well feel sorry for u boys, coz i know how hard it to shift them, had them for 7 years,

( nitemare) even tryed putting builders lime in thier holes to burn them, found mice dont

smell when dead seen to just dehydrate shrivil away, but stink out loft we thier P***,

i now think they were defo coming in from outside rather than dealing with just inmates,

was nothing to be killing 15-20 every time went in loft, same when my mate looked after

them,
