What a Lovely Cat

If you have an Air rifle shoot the vermin. I would. Have shot a couple rats in my garden.

I took mine out to nearby fields, it looked very happy that I'd spared it's little life :D it was a heartwarming moment. (Am I moving you to tears yet? :mrgreen:)

Yes but it mistook your kindness for an act of aggression. The mouse may have called for reinforcements. A large army of mice could be converging on your house as we speak :surprised: :D

Just used this one here

Put some Chocolate covered raisans in it and within two hours the mouse was inside.

Humane traps don't work very well if the mouse takes a fancy to living in your house.

If you leave it, it'll be in and out of your kitchen cupboards, pissing all over your cups and plates and chewing at your wiring.

Ring the council, they will send a bloke with some poison and within a couple of days the mouse will be deadus feckus.

Mine is this, and it hasn't worked at all: from bnq

Humane traps work a treat if you get the right one. I then take the time to transport the things a mile or so from my house to make sure they don't find their way in via Hiss.

I've had the classic style traps remove the odd tail or foot, which then leaves a mouse decomposing somewhere hard to get at.... which smells.

They're quite easy to catch in a room once you work from the principle that mice like to run along walls rather than out in the open.

My cats don't leave the house- we live on a busy road with four bus routes going up and down, and they're pedigrees so I worry about them being pinched. We haven't seen a single mouse in here since we got them though, we had loads the year before we got them.

Although it's not nice killing mice, they are a pest who can cause a lot of damage and/or hygiene problems. We used to poison them and trap them (they bleed a bit disgustingly if they go into a trap after eating the poison). If I ever caught one who was dozy from the poison I used to take it outside and hurl it on the ground to put it out of its misery.

not entirely sure if it will affect the cat, but on a general note, sonic repellers work great for keeping mice away!

Shotguns work great. Just point the thing at the mouse and pull both triggers. Suddenly no more mouse! I still haven't worked out where the mouse goes but it definitely works!
