I suspect I have a problem with mice and don't want to kill
them. Any suggestions on how to repel them?

I've tried two different types of humane trap but neither
caught a mouse.

Rentokil have some tips on deterring mice
http://tinyurl.com/j9hu2jr They also do a very effective humane
trap http://tinyurl.com/jrlcafj http://tinyurl.com/gtksngn and
scroll down to Live Capture Mouse Trap. But some words of
advice: while they do work, and well, you must check them at
least once a day, preferably twice. I had one set up in an
empty property that was showing evidence of mice, and on one
occasion for various reasons I wasn't able to get to the trap for
several days. The poor
little chap had died in the trap, soaked in his own urine. A
nasty death that I would have preferred to avoid. I've never
used that trap since, preferring the traditional spring-loaded
instant skull crusher / spine snapper. At least the mice don't
suffer.

Had one sneaking about in the kitchen many years ago and put a
snapper thing down.
Found it dead with it's hand/paw in the trap. Heart attack I
suspect. I did not feel too very proud of myself.

Someone you seem to like taking info from reported me to the RSPCA
for using humane traps and not emptying them fast enough, so the
little ****s died of starvation/dehydration. Which is exactly
what LEGAL rat poison does.

"Someone you seem to like taking info from"

What are you talking about? I honestly have no idea.

Yes you do.


Nope.
This is interesting Mr Hucker.
Please tell me more of your delusions. Or give me a clue.


You can't be that dim.


I know nothing about your mouse traps.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Would you like to tell me who this person "I seem to like taking info from"
is?
If you wish you may email me. I'm really curious.
