Default GOTCHA! ya little bastid...

After being plagued by something scratching around at night somewhere under my bedroom floor (joined to the garage) I put a couple of traps out and treated the meeses to a little Chrimbo chocolate...

Et voila`....

I used one of these in Oz, I caught them all and relocated them 30K down the road at work
Caught Mum one night under the sink, caught dad the next day in another room where I believed they lived, got home from work after his relocation put it beside the computer desk in the spare room and one of the kids appeared in there and within 20 mins I had 5 baby mice, obviously followed each other, probably looking for their parents. a very humane trap, a few dollops of peanut butter worked a treat

Although I would add that they cleaned me out of Nutella when I tried a conventional trap and they even ate the wasabi coated peanut I placed in the holder, how they got it out without springing the trap or burning their little lips i'll never know...

Very nice.

I just don't want the little ******* to come back though - like homing mice.

When I had my Civic Type R they set up home under a plastic cowl covering the injectors.
Bastids only went and chewed through the wires.
Twice!

That cost me £120 each time to get fixed
