how many mice live in a colony?

[*mrgrizz*]

found some in the garage.

they are feeding on a bag of bird seed.

so far i have caught 9, how many more will there be?

score so far is mice 8.......dogs 1.

and these are manchester terriers, breed for catching rats.

For a mice problem, you need one of these mr grizz.

just spent another $150 at the auto sparkies....mice/rats eat the wiring for the blinkers just about every year.  While I was there a fellow was waiting to pick his car up...the rats had eaten through the fire wall.

I use bait and put it little plastic houses, so other thigs don't eat it, they are suppose to go to water but I've often had dead ones in the walls....YUK!!!!!!

good luck and I hope you can rid your place of all of them.

it's me Soul-Art.

You need a cat or kitten that was born in March. Best mousers ever.

Put your bird feed in glass or tin containers with a tight lid, not in plastic.

Spray Eucalyptus oil around the inside of the garage or shed. Mice hate the smell.

Good luck with catching all of them.

If the mice were young ones, you may be lucky and they have not started breeding yet, but if all of them are adults, then my Good Luck wish doubles and tripples.

We have a problem with geckos! I thought they just pooped everywhere but one got into my super you beaut printer and shorted it out.

Paid $260 to fix it because they refused death by gecko under warranty and it has happened again. Not happy Jan.

Someone said that moth balls are a deterrent, they don't like the smell. But, neither do I

I have one of those. Sometimes it works well, other times it seems to be on the blink.

Soul, you just reminded me, we put moth balls in our cars, and sheds. I don't know if it keeps the rats away, but it keeps the mice away.

[soulart2]

hey skwerl, did you put the mothballs in the engine bit?

[1966kelso]

errr nope, just in the boot and the inside the cars, or trucks. We don't do it to the vehicles that get used every day.

We haven't had a big problem with them in the engine bay, that seems to be more of a rat thing.

[soulart2]

yeah it's more rats than mice here, they love the macadamias and coloured wires lol

 My 'mouser'  works in reverse.  She brings 'em into the house.    Alive!

 Then gets sick of tormenting them and walks away.   Yeah, thanks for that

Not her, but could be.  The attitudes the same

mice here are on the rampage

the OH put down a whole box of bait in the shed it was pretty much gone by the next day
