What about the seed of Datura, I was told to wear gloves when handling

Overcautious. Just don't lick your fingers. The seeds make very
effective rodent bait.

I have been slightly lightheaded after transplanting a lot of datura
seedlings ...

Right, I am just off to the attics!

I think we have won with our uninvited visitors, son reported scuttling
noises so I put a couple of mouse traps up into loft and over the next 5
days got 9 longtailed field mice. Been 3 days now of no bait taken or traps
set off, so hopefully that's the lot. I may of course be left with the
smarter ones!!
