Enough is enough!
So...I have had enough! These flippin mice and rats are making a fool of me. The traps have been set for weeks but every night they rattle and rustle about and avoid the traps completely.Some have even managed to nibble all the bait without the traps going off. Today we found a mint slice half nibbled."Keep that half biscuit" I said, "I'll mix it in with some new bait.""Too late" said Will, "I've eaten it.""What?!" I couldn't believe he had eaten a biscuit tainted with mouse spit!"You English people just don't embrace Nature," he said.It was the last straw...when they start eating my biscuits it is a step too far. I suspect I know how Kim Jong Un feels with Trump's battleship poking it's bow in from the Pacific.I bought a couple of new traps today and I cleaned out the old ones and I googled the perfect bait for rats and mice. They like peanut butter, chocolate, cheese, maple syrup, sausage and bacon bits. I mixed together a concoction of them all, except the bacon bits and bound it together with a bit of rice flour. I read if you stick a peanut in the gooey bait the rodent has to apply more pressure to get it out and hopefully there is more chance of it setting the trap off. I have some humane traps set too so it is a bit of a lottery between Life and Death but either way I am determined to put an end to these nightly mouse parties in my house!
