On the mice front try a quick dunk in either paraffin or white spirit

planting - the seeds that is not the mice!!
Never had any problems since and our garden abounds with mice, voles,
rats
etc as ajoins river and meadows.


Anyone any ideas for deterring rabbits?? My large garden is surrounded by
fields on 3 sides and ancient woodland on the other. Been here 9 years
without any problems but this year seem to be invaded by feasting rabbits!
Unfortunately out at work all day so dont get the chance to use my air
rifle on them too much and so they are left in peace to fill their bellies
with my young plants!!

We get them on our allotment site so everyone has Rabbit proof fencing
surrounding their plots but you have to keep the fences clear of weeds to
ensure the little buggers haven't found a way in.
