o/t : found a mouse in my loft!
 

My loft is fairly spacious and boarded out but surrounded with loads of
bin liners with clothes and other non essential thing in. i put a box
up there 2 weeks ago which had some polysterene packaging in and i
noticed yesterday that there were some mouse droppings and a small hole
made in the box. (it was a cdwriter that i'd packaged up that i planned
to sell on ebay so it was all sealed up ready for despatch if i sold
it).

i've removed the box and there were signs of polysterene that had been
knawed inside and one or two droppings also. from the amount of
droppings i saw i wouldn't have thought it had been there long, there
was no smell of urine either that i noticed. i cleaned the area up and
set a couple of traps last night, within a couple of hours i'd caught
one mouse. i checked this morning and there were no more caught.

we had mice in the garden a few years ago and after erradicating about 6
of them we didn't catch anymore.

are mice known to inhabit loft spaces or could this just be one mouse
that has become trapped in the loft for some reason? - (bearing in mind
that its a semi detatched house with a fairly high roof)!

any thoughts anyone?

Mice are always getting into lofts. They're very good climbers and have
no trouble scaling an outside wall.

I'll second that: Rentokil used to have a training video, showing a mouse
climbing up a vertical brick wall, as though it was on the flat.

Mice can also get through very tight gaps. They dislocate their ribcages
and can wriggle through gaps under doors (for example) that are less than
half and inch deep.

Probably a lost and lonely soul, Nick. Most field mice come into houses
for warmth and shelter in the autumn, usually through unattended open
doors. You could try looking around to see if there are any obvious gaps
around the eaves and proof them with wire mesh to stop reoccupation. (Far
more humane than the breakback traps).

If you do have more mice, you'll soon know, as it's amazing how much noise
they make. IME, their nocturnal goings-on, just above your bedroom at
03.00, makes you think that there must be a whole flock of birds in your
loft

Could most certainly be a family. We have an elderly neighbour who heard
the patter of tiny feet in her attic a couple of times, so when our mouse
man came round, we asked him to go to see her attic for her. He found that
several mice were living in an old water tank and that they had been happily
pulling up the fleecy insulation stuff in the roof. Luckily, they hadn't
started chewing on cable insulation because that can be both annoying and
potentially dangerous.

we had mice in the garden a few years ago and after erradicating about 6

it).

i've removed the box and there were signs of polysterene that had been
knawed inside and one or two droppings also. from the amount of
droppings i saw i wouldn't have thought it had been there long, there
was no smell of urine either that i noticed. i cleaned the area up and
set a couple of traps last night, within a couple of hours i'd caught
one mouse. i checked this morning and there were no more caught.

we had mice in the garden a few years ago and after erradicating about 6
of them we didn't catch anymore.

are mice known to inhabit loft spaces or could this just be one mouse
that has become trapped in the loft for some reason? - (bearing in mind
that its a semi detatched house with a fairly high roof)!

any thoughts anyone?

found a mouse in my loft!
 

Does this mean when you sell your CD writer on E Bay it comes with its own
mouse!

My loft is fairly spacious and boarded out but surrounded with loads of
bin liners with clothes and other non essential thing in. i put a box
up there 2 weeks ago which had some polysterene packaging in and i
noticed yesterday that there were some mouse droppings and a small hole
made in the box. (it was a cdwriter that i'd packaged up that i planned
to sell on ebay so it was all sealed up ready for despatch if i sold
it).
