Hi folks, I feel a bit embarrassed as I only ever make contact when I need
help, but I do visit the site on a regular basis to pick up tips. Can
anyone tell me if there is a way to keep field mice and other gnawing pests
out of my garden other than poisoning them.

Ta in anticipation.

Mouse traps.

The type that catch them alive to allow you to let them go in someone else's
back garden about 10 miles away
