Title: Mice
Post by: Robert_Brenchley on February 08, 2010, 14:25:08
The little sods must have been starving as they don't normally climb up inside my mini greenhouses. I've lost all the broadies, all the sweet peas, and a few of the species paeonies.

Sorry to hear about the damage though Robert.

I now have traps out all year to keep the numbers of mice and voles down. Voles are often the ones that do most damage during the Winter.

I normally keep poison down in my shed, but I haven't been going down much as I've been fit for nothing.
