Chocolate truffles however work a treat I found a mouse eating one and it was so engrossed in the yumminess that it didn't notice me put a glass over it to capture it. When I set it free, it was covered in chocolate and seems very reluctant to go!Mrs Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-12221982280789566902009-12-09T10:10:06.572+00:002009-12-09T10:10:06.572+00:00http://www.rentokil.com/blog/mice-get-fussy/

It's our method of choice. <br /><br />When we had a similar problem with birdseed last year (in the garage) I think we had 2 traps in there and we caught over a dozen mice. Then we caught more in the basement. We looked at every nook and cranny as well as securing birdseed in sealed buckets this year, let me tell you!Donna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-45235377902467507042009-12-08T18:30:19.324+00:002009-12-08T18:30:19.324+00:00Glad to see that you are winning the "war&quo...Glad to see that you are winning the "war".

This is from a single mouse trap so I think that peanut butter must be pretty powerful stuff.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-33327004316307898582009-12-08T10:04:16.570+00:002009-12-08T10:04:16.570+00:00Agree with you on the war front too, Michelle.
