Carrot eating mice
« on: June 01, 2007, 21:27:35 »
I was checking my carrots which have about 5" of foliage, and some of the actual carrot had been munched at the top, wednesday morning I walked past and there was a b****y mouse eating them I was very disheartened thinking that were there is one there will be more and they will eat the carrots before I get any chance.

So I thought I need to set a mouse trap with something more tasty than a carrot so I got a date and set the trap inside a small 6" square box with a hole the size of a small postage stamp ( so that I didn't catch a bird ) and checked it tonight and bingo I caught the b****r, I whave reset the trap and will keep an I out for them.

I have to fight the wife to give them peanut butter. Caught another mouse already, seems to work.

parrots adore peanut butter and it is often used if they have eaten something they shouldnt have ie my crocus
