My loft is fairly spacious and boarded out but surrounded with loads of
bin liners with clothes and other non essential thing in. i put a box
up there 2 weeks ago which had some polysterene packaging in and i
noticed yesterday that there were some mouse droppings and a small hole
made in the box. (it was a cdwriter that i'd packaged up that i planned
to sell on ebay so it was all sealed up ready for despatch if i sold
it).

When we moved into our house we had mice in the loft, kitchen, under the
floorboards, garage & garden & we had to get the council mouse man in. He
got rid of the mice in the house with poison & our two cats removed the ones
in the garage & garden (which is a much more environmentally friendly
method) & we haven't had any since. How the previous owners lived like that
I don't know!

I'd suggest getting a sachet or two of mouse poison & putting them in your
loft just in case there are more.
