We live in the country so lots of mice here - when we moved into this house
a year ago the house & garage had many mousy residents too - there were even
droppings in the kitchen cupboards & airing cupboard (how the previous
owners lived like this I have no idea!). We live near a farm which keeps
free range chickens, so I'm sure the mice grow fat on the chicken feed.
Our previously "towny" cats took to country life very quickly & were soon
presenting us with 5 or 6 mice a day. We are now mouse free & they only
catch the occassional one - definitely more environmently friendly pest
control that putting down poison.


Back in the early 70s Downing Street was over run by a plague of mice
resistant to all then available poisons. The solution was to acquire a
cat - problem solved inside a month.
