Having had severe mice problems I purchased cheap mouse traps, bated
them with peanut butter. Placed 4 traps around the problem area, caught
4 a day for the first few days, then numbers reduced to none over a
couple of weeks. This has certainly worked for me, especially the latest
infestation which were eating my purple sprouting broccoli! I have also
used white spirit, never thought about the fast evaporation rate, I will
try paraffin the next sowing.
