When both of our cats went to the big cat basket in the sky, the meeces moved in - I also noticed poo in the kitchen cupboards. Being a townie, I don't have much to do with actual wildlife, so I don't want to kill the 'poor little thing' so OH spent £££ on a humane trap, baited with Cadbury's Dairy Milk. There he was in the morning, trapped in the cage, all bright eyes and twitchy nose (the mouse, not the OH) He was then chauffered to Syon Park for his release.....came back home feeling very pleased with self........but then.........more POO - the ungrateful little wotsit had told his mates about this great hotel and a whole colony had moved in - so no more kind and cuddly - went straight to the neck breakers and it took about 6 months to get all of them. and now your're telling me that they like seeds and seedlings :o :o - maybe I need to rethink the siting of the mini greenhouse, which is currently just outside the back door.
I might set a few traps tonight - just in case....... ;) BTW we were told that mice find chocolate irresistible - I can relate to that ;D
