I know, thats one of the things that bothered me, that and the disease they carry.......... am gonna have a good clean and spray tomorrow - the floors I mean not me

Oh........and have managed to get rid of it and re-set the trap, with the use of 2 carrier bags as gloves and the boys didnt see a thing

I was tempted!! But its dark in their, it was in my airing cupboard thingie in the boys room so not sure if theyd see it and take the hint but have blocked the hole up where they were getting out of the airing cupboard. Cant beleive the size of hole they can get through, it was where the cupboard had been cut round the skirting and the gap was no wider than 1cm

Better still invest in pest magic!, had one for over 4 years and havent had one since!! (mouse that is!)

Bunging their holes up will stop them breading,But you've got to catch them first.

A mouse can dislocate its joints and squeeze through a hole as tiny as could be made with a ballpoint pen.
Wipe worktops too - they can climb up vertical surfaces
