You never know what to expect when you move into a new house.  We have now been in this house for six months and I have discovered why there was a packet of rat poison in the laundry, there’s a mouse in the house!  Actually it’s probably an extended family of mice and all their friends. The other day from the corner of my eye I saw movement, didn’t think much of it but then I saw a mouse run across our kitchen bench and jump behind the stove.  Now I had mice as a child and I love them so I certainly won’t be using poison on them.  Instead I have a humane mouse trap that locks them in a box once they step inside then I simply let them go outside.  I set the trap last night and at 2:30am I heard it close so out of bed I got and into the back yard I strolled to release my catch.  I opened the trap and out came four mice… four!  I was expecting to catch one at a time so this was a bonus.  I reset the trap and went back to bed.  At 6:30am I woke up to find the trap closed again.  This time it was only one mouse but that’s five in one night!  They now have a new home in my neighbours pile of outside rubbish.  I’m sure it’s not rubbish to him but between our fence and his shed are pipes, old kids pools, wood and old wire fencing. The perfect relocation site…thanks Stan!
