Mattydoos79 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 Ouch that’s cruel I prefer humane traps and put mice somewhere else
Kyleakin Lofts Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 Looks very efficient and they certainly won't come back after that. Mice are vermin and it looks a very quick death, so I don't think it is cruel. It seems very expedient.

Mice are part of the foodchain, only humans class anything as vermin.....I suppose foxes are vermin too? and seals for eating our fish? get a grip
Kyleakin Lofts Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Mice do not form any part of the food chain for a pigeon, so to the fancier they are vermin, just as to the gardener, any plant that is not where it is allocated to be is a weed, whether it is a cultivated plant or a natural one. I accept that mice are part of nature, but I don't want them in my loft or for that matter, in my house and therefore look to be rid of them. Again from that point of view, rather than continue to fight against the same mice on a recurring basis, I prefer to be rid of them once and for all. I appreciate others may attempt ingress. First line of defence is to make ingress difficult, if not impossible, them one has to look at traps. If the trap is as quick as possible then the cruelty factor is reduced. For me, poisoning is slower and more cruel than a trap with near instant death.Were it some other facility, then a cat could do the job naturally, albeit cruelly, but nature and the food chain is a cruel master. Many a farmer will class foxes as vermin and perhaps the fishermen look upon seals in this manner as well. I do believe this is why the rules regarding the humane suppression of any vermin are in place, whether we agree what vermin might be in any given situation.

Roland Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 I heard of a safe, and inexpensive way, to control mice and apparently it works. Ray Naklicki read, and tried, this experiment. Mix 1 equal part flour with 1 equal part sugar with 1 equal part baking soda. Place in container around loft. Mice will devour the mixture. Once the mice drink water the baking soda foams up they bloat up and die. Ray says he hasn't seen any mice in weeks. Seen mice eating one in a trap.

paddymac Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 just watched this on you tube , looks a handy gadget to have ?? Nice one Andy, if it sorts out mice infestation around the lofts its well worth a try
paddymac Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Can you buy them?Going by the info on the link they can be a bit pricey, might be better making your own
