Have got an issue of some mice in my fertiliser shed. Destroyed a few bags to nest under the shelf. Ate 2kg of slug bait which certainly must have sorted out a few of them.
After pulling 300kg worth of bags off of 2 shelves, 3 big mice made a run for it one at a time.
Missed 2 completely and only slightly nicked one with a flying house brick.
My query now is what do you guys reckon is the best way to get rid of them?
The way I see it, my options are:
Regular snap traps – what are everyone’s favourite brand trap
Electrocution trap – sounds fun but I know I would somehow zap myself setting it up
One of those rat ‘humane live trap’ boxes – then the box somehow finds its way into a bucket of water
Baiting (the way I usually do it), anyone know of any extra good rat killer? The last one I bought was pretty average.
One thing I am aware of is the impact on birdlife if I use an anticoagulant bait. All these bird groups say about anticoag baits being bad, but they never actually list the ingredients or the actual individual products that are the issue (aside warfarin which is obvious).
Thanks
