We put down a trap which caught the mouse by one leg. Barney put it outside in the garden. A couple of days later, a mouse limped along the pipes in the bathroom, gave me a dirty look and disappeared.mighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-13477971223179852132012-02-02T16:54:59.611+00:002012-02-02T16:54:59.611+00:00I follow Z.

Within an hour, the trap was sprung by a small rodent. I ended up yomping across the fields to the rear of our cottage, setting the little fella free, before trashing the trap.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-6870629382297319592012-02-01T06:53:37.419+00:002012-02-01T06:53:37.419+00:00Having Voles sound so much more Waitrose but mice ...Having Voles sound so much more Waitrose but mice are really quite Aldi or Morrisons.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-56811748686321155882012-01-31T22:54:16.501+00:002012-01-31T22:54:16.501+00:00Sounds like a good party game ...Sounds like a good party game ...Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201835677426254567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-85017509467466123522012-01-31T21:57:57.924+00:002012-01-31T21:57:57.924+00:00Broom handle or bamboo cane.
