Re: Mice in the Attic

I'm surprised nobody has suggested getting a cat, they do tend to be rather good 'mousers' and getting rid of pests like mice!

Re: Mice in the Attic

I haven’t got a cat .
This is a dog village cats are few and far between .

Anyway I am going to try a few more ‘natural ‘methods .

Moth balls , onions and peppermint toothpaste are deterrents apparently !

The attic is going to stink !

Re: Mice in the Attic

Have a look at this, Muddy.
It says about 'natural methods.'

Re: Mice in the Attic

That’s that idea gone then!
I can’t see where they are getting in but now I suspect the garage which is attached to the house .
My neighbour ( a builder ) says they get up through the cavities .
He is renovating a house nearby and says that had mice in the attic and it had stood empty for over a year .
Meanwhile my friend ( same village ) has had mice in the kitchen cupboards.
They ate her flour and other dried stuff she has had to throw everything away and have a big clear out ..
This is obviously mouseville !

Re: Mice in the Attic

Sadly those mice are on to good thing, but look at it this way, at least they aren't ratties, more likely Field mice who have moved out of the fields & into homes.
