don't think you can beat a kitty cat to say goodbye to the mice.

spud

Have you tried electronic pest repellents, simply plug them in to an electric socket. They are very effective, we had a problem with mice in our kitchen last year, since fitting these have not seen a mouse since.

I got mine from

http://www.price-drop.tv/homepage.aspx

much cheaper than the high street.

You can borrow my cat, she has been known to leap tall buildings, and abseil down on unsuspecting rodents, she very nicely leaves them in her bowl when she has devoured most of it too!

rosie,



You don't know what poor is.



When I was young, in the winter, my father used to suck a Polo mint, and the family used to sit around his tongue to keep warm.



Could do with it here in the UK tonight. June and we've got the central heating on!

Put salt on their tails. It makes them easier to catch.

We were so poor, at Christmas my father used to paint a boiled egg for us, and tell us it was Easter.

I opened a xmas present from my parents and found just an empty shoe box, my old man said there should have been a action man inside but he must have escaped.

Spud,

I'm sure you will find them effective, they also repell cockroaches, flies and spiders.

Hi spud,

The manufacturers advise one unit upstairs and one downstairs, but I think one should be enough, plug it in near to where the mice seem more active, they should soon dissapear.

I wish they did!
