you need a pussy ;)
Four mouse traps (cost very little) with bits of chocolate in them and the wee b*****d will be history in no time. The cheese thing is a myth.

If you havn't got a pussy or are not able to get one soon, then a bit of the sticky resin type mice/rat catching stuff will do the trick.

"Get out".
Get a cat. It'll get rid of the mice. Next you have to get rid of the cat. You're lucky, no better time of year. Oidhche Shamhna - get the cat, shove a banger up its hole, light it and throw it in a wheelie bin.
i like that :)

thats what i have, with a bit of mars bar to entice the wee f**ker
It's the same every year. The turn in the weather drives them to look for heat. No doubt the tramps will be in my garage and hopefully stay out of the house.
We bought these ultrasonic things you plug into the sockets which are supposed to drive them nuts. Load of shite. Stick to bait traps.

Good stuff, all you need now is a pussy to keep you company ;)
Poor mouse - but he has to go. A bit of bacon fat fried/rasher rind will have him in no time. 3 or 4 old spring loaded traps all you need. The missus made me make the house mouse proof and to be honest I miss the annual hunt about now.
A barn owl and a leather gauntlet should do it.
im sitting in the room here, as is my friend who i am watching now! he near went for the bait but after a sniff went on his way.... :-\ i think a trap is the best bet

From what I've read, the ultrasound devices are a scam.
Stick to break-back traps and bait.
Glue traps are far too inhumane.
I have the wee f**kers in the attic. How are they getting there? I don't know a f**k.
hey mice are cute >:( the mouse from green mile film would have told you this ::) then there's micky mouse & minnie & many more
Dont get a cat, its a proven fact that cats attract rats, and wat ever trouble the wee mouse might give ya u dont want any of them floatin about the house, get a half a slice of bacon fry it on the pan and stick it in the trap, set the trap properly that the pin is at the very edge on the snap-off because someimes they can be too long, if that is done properly round half an hour after u go to bed u will be woke by SNAP, and thats the problem ended, keep the back door shut for jasus sake.
sorry didn mean a whole half slice i meant that for the 4 or 5 traps u may set, ianother thing is if u have seen him in a corner or runnning along a wall already set the traps in that area they always walk on previous tracks.

I've heard of rats with toxoplasmosis losing their fear of cats (or more specifically cat urine), which is a nice evolutionary strategy to facilitate the parasite being passed on to its primary host, but otherwise rats are afraid of cats and will avoid them at all costs.
Oh jaysus im big time scared of mice - hate them with a passion. Was talking in the house the other day saying how come we have never had bother with mice an that , espec as we have river running at the back of the house - id have thought that would attract them and rats. So then my sisters husband says sure wasnt there a load of them in here last year - i nearly choked - said as long as there were none near my bedroom - they all looked at each other and burst out laughing >:( there had apparently been 3 caught in my room and i had never known :'( - makes me sick thinking of it - i be panicking every noise i hear now
Mice... they're only small little animals tyrone girl. It's rats I'm afraid of and they do damage... the little f**kers! >:(

A friend was telling me the house she shared was over run by mice and they had to get pest control out. He told them that mice can squeeze through openings the width of a biro.
Mice come indoors at this time of year when it is getting colder. They can squeeze into very small spaces. Around this time a couple of years ago I spotted on in the kitchen, the fecker ran under the microwave, which I would hardly have thought possible,

They have no backbone so can squeeze under the smallest spaces.
glue is the only way to go fitz. but it will more than likely mean you having to kill the thing once its stuck.

Just wondering lads.......if you had a dog in the house would that keep the wee fcukers out??
Dogs are feck all use when it comes to mice.
I just might go the cat route, but I'm a dog man and not partial to having a cat.
I live in a isolated house surrounded by a fertile thriving mouse colony.
Years ago I started out humane, just used devices that trapped rather than killed.
I let my daughter accompany me as we drove with the trapped mouse and let her free it into the wild.
She has no fear of mice now, instead she gets hysterical about a fecking spider.
Whereas she could be confronted with a mouse in the kitchen and exclaim, "isn't she cute".
My present favoured trap is called the Supercat
(http://www.ascott.biz/acatalog/HS35.jpg)
I have about 15 of these around the outside walls of the house.
This season after 6 weeks, I have about 70 or 80 kills.
So far, not one mouse has made it inside the house.
Stretching the spring wire each time you set it, keeps the trap primed for action.
Sometimes the cheeky mouse gets partially trapped and escapes with the trap.
I recovered one such trap after a year and it functions as new.
Life is not worth living if you have a woman petrified of these harmless creatures and they are running around the house or the attic.

Reminds me of a few boys I have played football with over the years....

Thats interesting about them being able to squeeze through a biro sized hole, or having no back bone.
Easiest way to kill a mouse is just to hold a pen behind its neck and pull its tail. Bingo.
I'd them in my kitchen a few years ago, they'd come in to the sitting room too and under the couch and run under my feet.
I hate the f**kers, traps are the only way to go.
I've found those sonic things ok but people forget they don't get rid of mice once they're in, they only put them off settling if they haven't already.
The oul pair had a cat for about 8 or 9 years and in that whole time they only saw it with a mouse once and would still get the odd one on the house.
Me ma used to complain the cat was no use at keeping mice away. It was only after the cat died that they realised he was doing some good. That winter they had in infestation of the wee buggers. The oul boy had to put traps down everywhere. He got 12 in the utility room alone.
They got another cat shortly after that and haven't had much bother since
The best way to catch them is with a milk bottle lying on its side in the corner of the room.
Put a small piece of chocolate in it.
The mice will go in but cant get out as the bottle is too slippery for them to get up the slope again.
Like your thinking TWP. Where do you get a milk bottle these days ?
