Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Saturday already and the weekend starts here. I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. Do you have anything planned for today?

Sadly I being plagued by mice in the flat, so i have had a restless night, thinking of ways to get rid of them. The council can't make it till the 17th of August, as they are fully booked. From last time's experience traps don't work, so if anyone has any idea how to dispose of them then please do let me know.

todays forecast for the capital is 24c with partly sunny skies, bit like yesterday then, which turned into a nice day all round.

[emmie]

its quiet this morning, no one yet to keep me company.....

Looks like a rather American way to control rodents.

Could work though.

morning all xx

[murraymints]

in my experience a bit of chocolate in an old fashioned trap does the job emmie..or get a cat !

[emmie]

morning Minty

[emmie]

tried traps before, with peanut butter, recommended, to no avail.
i hate them....

[emmie]

can't have another cat, as i am up four flights of stairs and it would have to be let in and out, also what do i do with it when i go away....

[murraymints]

peanut butter I found slithers off ..chocolate needs a wee tug to get which activated the trap better

[emmie]

will see if Dyas does them....

[murraymints]

traps are better than poison as the last thing you want are decaying rotting mouse corpses in your walls and floors !

[murraymints]

the council needs to check how they are getting into your flat too !

[emmie]

true, but we have them in the whole building, on the balconies especially, going on the level of mouse droppings there are.

[emmie]

might just have come in the front door when it was open to let in some air.... its very humid here.

[murraymints]

sounds like there is a nesting situation that needs eradicated

[emmie]

yes indeed, they are in the basement of the building, and the council haven't dealt with the problem, so they continue to breed. I first pointed out to the council we had a problem back in June, but nothing was done as far as i can tell.

[murraymints]

a good old mass extermination needed..

[murraymints]

dull and cool here today..but dry so far.. we really relief from the wet stuff.. whilst the rest of you are in drought !
