Go away Rodent

Best way is a Jack Russell
But don’t post it on social media, as you’re going to get a visit from the RSPCA

From experience chocolate, got to be milk chocolate melted and stuck to the bait platform of a rat sized trap spring trap works well. I have also found that where there is rodent activity chocolate coated poison is far more attractive to them and well worth the effort - PPE recommended.

However, I still have a 20/25 mm hole in a rear corner of my car's head lining where a mouse had accessed the roof space and nested using chewed up sound deadening felt during a period when it was off the road stored in a barn at my then father-in-laws farm. When I discovered and dealt with it, I would say more fortunately for me, any residents were not at home, As homage, I have created a historical feature of a small fluffy toy mouse with it's head poking though into the car keeping an eye on proceedings.

I’ve had mouse problems in the past (we do have cats now so don’t have any problems), we were advised and tried a high pitch speaker, it just plugged directly into a socket.

In our experience they did see, to keep the mice away. We tried poison too, but you end up needing to find the bodies.

Not for the "softies" among us, but these let you see the vermin that's been doing the damage before you dispose of them.

Ha, ha, I tried one of those high pitched sqeaker things in my workshop. Don't know what it did to the Mice, but it drove Adam crazy!

Winabbey, It's like a little mousey swimming pool

I use these, seems to work, as dont have mice close by, but how do you really know ?

Never realised what a warm hearted, humane lot of humanitarian souls we had on the forum. I've got tears in my eyes now over my 'sticky boards' suggestion. Pass the tissues. Must be my deprived upbringing. Born at a young age and all that

I'm very animal friendly and sympathetic to the cause of our mistreated wildlife, especially as we humans continue to invade their territory, and that includes the cute and cuddly little mouse. Hey, as a youngster I sat on the floor in front of a black and white TV watching the Mickey Mouse Club. What more proof do you need?

But when the selfish, germy, plague and monkeypox carrying and disease infected rodents chewed through the insulation on the wiper motor wiring in my 1970 Cooper S leaving just the black connectors my latent mean-streak took over. No cheese for you, my friend. Instead a lethal dose of Brodifacoum to take back to your comfy nest and chew on. Hope you pass the story on to your litter to warn them before you spew up blood and die.

Now, feeling quite satisfied, I'll get back to repairing the wiper wiring.

I find that apple works well as bait…….alternatively you could just drive the car every day!!!

.....no that does not work (driving car each day) ......Last couple of weeks, work car broke down and I opened the bonnet to a field mouse racing around near the battery !!

That car does about 30K miles a year and is used every day, maybe this is evolution in action?....... why live in a wet cold field when you can live in a nice warm, albeit noisy engine bay

I have to say me preference was always the humane traps, but with an immunocompromised person in the house I decided for once swift if slightly crueller action was required. Unlike my brother who goes ratting with his father-in-law on his farm with a 12 guage...

Well that was until one day they were following one along the wall in a barn, he pulled the trigger and BANG! Darkness! He'd missed the rat and took out the fuse box instead
