this morning I found a dead mouse outside my baking cabinet. It had nibbled on the bottom of the door, prised it open and gourged itself on self-raising flour. That will teach them   ...just a shame that now I have to chuck the damaged bags and clean the whole cupboard out - have other things to do!!!

[MrsJ]

At least it was dead!!

[Fleecewife]

I had one in my bathroom yesterday.  I set the dogs on it but they were being idiots so it hid and they gave up.  Hopefully they gave it a big enough fright that it will go somewhere else.  I did feel a bit watched on the loo though 

[Bangbang]

Hope you didn,t bury it - all that self-raising flour might come back
from the dead

can't have been a nice death having baking powder expanding in your stomach on body temperature....I prefer the traps as the cat's useless! 

[doganjo]

That's what I put down for rats and mice in my garage and near the duck house - with added baking powder.  Don't have any sympathy for the dirty things I'm afraid

I had a mouse in the kitchen and put a trap down before I went to work. 

The trap caught the mouse but by its back half. Obviously the mouse had still been alive and tried to get away by going under the skirting board. The front half of the mouse got under the board but the back half, with trap attached couldn't make it.

By the time I got home from work the mouse was dead and rigor mortice had set in so when I tried to get the mouse out it snapped in half, leaving the front half stuck under the skirting board.

Oh yuk!

[lill]

at least you got it and probably had a good feed before it expired.

the other day I had to set a well hidden trap in the living room (as the cat is useless as I said ), imagine what she brought me to my bed in the morning as a present - a mouse with the trap attached  - and she wanted praise for it, too !

What a clever kitty 

My kittens used to add to the house livestock by bringing in mice, shrews and voles live and then letting them go. The house has 3ft stone walls, with a rubble infill. The wee beasties would disappear though a gap and just join in the party going on inside the wall  At least it used to keep said kittens amused, sitting by the holes listening, and waiting in hope

I had a plague of mice in the kitchen after the farmer next door ploughed. I have a pet Jack Russell and he is spoilt rotten, but believe it or not, he killed everyone of then in a day or two, in manic fashion - I mean, I am talking about a dog who lives in the country and won't step outside if it's a bit cold or especially if its raining!! I am so proud of him 

[arl]

mice have feelings too you know!!

[robert waddell]

ye they feel furry

Our Jack Russell X does a constant vermin patrol.  He's damn fast when he sees a mouse - just a blur.
