Hi folks, I feel a bit embarrassed as I only ever make contact when I need help, but I do visit the site on a regular basis to pick up tips. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to keep field mice and other gnawing pests out of my garden other than poisoning them.

Ta in anticipation.

So you should.

Rabbit netting http://tinyurl.com/s8768 may help, but forget about the
field mice as they do no one any harm and are to be encouraged as their
natural habitats are being gradually decimated.

Your choice of the word poison is unfortunate as I doubt that you would
resort to that course of action regarding the harmless fieldmouse.

Mouse traps.

The type that catch them alive to allow you to let them go in someone else's
back garden about 10 miles away

Another not very bright idea. The knawing field mice in all probability
have left young ones in a nest and if you drop the parent mouse ten
miles away the young ones will be left to starve.

Which reduced the mouse population by several thousand!

Jakell says he's a regular reader. So, he must have noticed that while
many posts ask for help, the majority give a sensible clue to the query
in the header, don't use caps, and don't use HTML. When a first-time
user does those things, it's forgiveable. When a repeat poster and
regular reader can't be bothered to adapt, that suggests a chauvinist
disregard for urg and the people he's asking for help, which is just
plain rude.

It didn't come up as HTML for me. Just a normal posting.
