Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Sai Ram.The mice here are so prolific in their excreta - I have these little house type traps where I can catch them and relocate them - but they wont go in them anymore - they want to stay here! Although everything is in large plastic containers they go in the pantry and just eat the labels off everything - I should probably leave food outside for them so they have something to eat - but then they would probably bring it back inside if their actual home is here inside the house ........... you know how it is that dogs sit patiently waiting when you are preparing food? Well here it is the dogs at my feet and the mice waiting for me to turn my back on the bench! After we cleared and mouse proofed the pantry earlier in the year they ate their way back in - they can eat mud brick which is what the house is made from. We don't get cockroaches, but we do have mice, rats, possums, yabbies, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, millipedes and other seasonal insects none of which bother me - but mice and rats are a bit much.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Sai Ram. May be keeping some food outside is worth trying. Else, keep a few cats in the house!
