Mice problem

[malumbu]

I thought they were really cute. They only came in for warmth and food. They'd be clever so and sos and not seem to follow the mouse code in terms of their runs. I'd catch them occasionally and they'd try to knaw through the plastic trap.

You'd watch telly late at night and suddenly you'd see one. Did try and catch them by hand but can they run quick.

I blocked up a ventilation hole and they went.

They never bred under the floor boards.

I don't miss them, just not particularly freaked out by them. Fox/cat/dog poo in the garden far worse.

so you let it go so it can live in someone else's house nice,if every one did this the mice would think they were going on their holidays. and what would you say if you saw me letting a live mouse out near you house ??

best way is to kill them, i mean what do they contribute to the world ?? what are they good for ???

Could say the same about humanity. At least mice don't go around comiting mass genocide in the name of religion and/or politics. The complacency of human beings never fails to astound me.

One of the most sensible mouse posts I've ever read.

and what do they contribute to the world ?? what are they good for ??? you never answered, Diseases that's what.

1 Hantavirus,2 Bubonic Plague,3 Tularemia, 3 Rickettsialpox. still as long as you compare them to us "human beings" it's ok.

Yep, anthropomorphism will be the death of us all

We had a couple of mice sneak in a few months ago but my old cat despatched them before we even noticed we had guests. The first time the cat even dragged the dead rodent to the baby to play with. Gross and endearing in equal measures.
