Burrowing field mice

Field mouse

The family of field mice that have been resident in our garden for a couple of years have now started to burrow under the garage, leaving big mounds of soil in on the greenhouse floor.

So, despite them being cute, it’s time to stop them. We have bought two traps, loaded them with Fruit and Nut, and in two nights we’ve caught 4 mice.

I’ll keep a running tally here….

Update: 21/01/2008 Days: 6 Mice caught: 6

None for the last 2 nights. I wonder is that it?

    PS. Waste of fruit and nut?

  3. John says:

    We could humanely capture them and post them to Riona?

    Go on then. I’m sure Roger will love you for it! x

    Aww! I hope you aren’t killing the poor mice! I caught one at work the other day in a HUMANE trap…called him Stewy. Let him go in the woods. Very cute.
