Mouse in house – advice ? Builders?

4 am the little bugger is ripping paper again… Stops at 5 am when the heating pipes shudder into action.

6 traps set – bugger all so far.

Though doubt I will get the blighter ( hence my post) as he is in the ? Cavity wall?

Couldn’t you get under floor to set a couple traps

Yes… But as above there is no evidence he has been there

Good mouser cats are priceless if you live out in the wilds, a particularly efficient killer we had took:

Entire nest of rats (which were found the next morning piled up next to nest entrance)
A chicken (kept quiet about that)
Cock pheasant (one wing inside the cat flap, rest of the bird on the outside where he’d tried to pull it in)
Wood pigeons

But his favourite were rabbits from the woods. Oddly it was only the ears and heads that would be eaten. Not pleasant hearing the crunching sound coming from behind the sofa! Never bothered to catch anything small though that one, must’ve enjoyed a challenge.

Don’t put poison down if you have cats though. There is a chance they may catch a poisoned mouse even if the poison itself is inaccessible to them.
