MICE IN THE LOFT



This scratching could be heard in the loft this week.
We knew it was a mouse and being animal lovers, we bought a humane trap and hoped to catch the savage beastie!
Thanks to a few tips on the AFC Bournemouth website, we decided the best bet was a bit of soft apple covered in peanut butter.
The old myth about Mice liking cheese is total rubbish, as people who bait their traps with cheese always forget the selection of Jacobs crackers, and pickles. Hence the mice are not tempted.

Anyway, 2 days later, this dangerous animal has been caught and duly given to the dogs to play with.
Only joking...We are just off to release the little chap a couple of miles away.
