different type of pest
« on: March 27, 2009, 06:40:17 »
We have some unwelcome visitors in our pantry. So far caught 2 different mice, we can't kill them so have set them free. Does anyone know where we can buy the covers to fit over our vents please.

firstly what vents you referring to if you mean the ones connected to the walls on the outside of a house to prevent moisture can get them from B&Q for a couple of quid each white plastic ones

When you set them free, make sure it is a fair distance from the house.  I've been told that they 'home' like pigeons.

Are you able to borrow a cat for a week or so ?

We had mice a few years ago and we used to catch them in a contraption that didn't kill them. Tony used to take them to the bottom of the garden and we reckon they used to beat him back to the house.
When I get old I don't want people thinking

                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
