short of getting your mum and sister over with the barbie cars I don't know!

If you use sticky paper, you'll have to deal with mice that are still alive. Regular spring-loaded traps will generally kill them outright, making it easier to dispose of them.

Don't use poison. They'll end up dying somewhere inaccessible, and then end up stinking the place up as they decompose.

I can't deal with anymore decapitation, I used to ride horses and we had rat traps that were filled regularly (by rats not horses!!!) I vomited every single time I saw one.

You can get humane traps that catch the mice in little boxes like this:



You just have to release them far enough away that they can't find their way back.

looks like a serious investment for vermin

Well, that's the cost of humane treatment. Seriously though, you can't beat spring-loaded traps with a bit of peanut butter.....

That'd work with me. Nummy

isn't it mice that are incontinent?

Thought that was elderly parents?

Thought that was elderly parents?

I don't think incontinence is exclusive to parents
