Have got mice.

Killed two in traps (the sprung "splat" variety) baited with a large
pile of poison:

But we have a third - it just eats all the poison - and the trap does
not go off ! It's really strange - done that four times now, so I
guess it's very sick..

The traps (I have four) just do not seem to be sensitive
enough...though they worked on two.

How many mice should I expect in a "nest" ????

Thanks


At least two, probably more. Also a word on Traps. The so called
'Humane' traps are the least humane things ever. Unless you can
guarantee to check them every 2-3 hours any mouse caught in one will
die in a horrible way. I had one and found the mouse the next morning
stone dead, drenched in sweat and urine. Never again. A good clean
kill with an old-fashioned spring trap is the best.
