Rats! Sometime back I saw that there were mice in my compost bin. I
don't
put food scraps there except vegetables - but it must be nice and warm
inside during Winter time.
One of them got into the house. I was watching the History channel
yesterday
when I heard something rattling away at the toaster. I paid no
attention to
it. When I went to make some toast - out popped a small little mouse.
It ran into a small hole inside a cupboard wall. (Meaning its not in
the
cupboard but somewhere in its interior gaps.)
I got one of the old fashion traps and one of the new modern plastic
eco-friendly ones which doesn't kill the animal.
how is not killing a european house mouse "ecofriendly"? i know they're
cute but they don't belong here so there's no eco-problem in killing
them! (quite the reverse).
I've got both mice and antechinus in my sun room at the moment. I seem
to have no more in the house but I'm not trusting the little sods not to
come back.
The mice I let go in a new housing development in the area and the
antechinus I release in the paddock.
They are probably been displaced by the housing development.
I doubt it. The housing development is about 10 kms away and I drop the
mice off there after taking them for a drive. My act of releasing the mice
in that locality is my way of commenting on what I think of this eyesore.
