LNV Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Does anyone know a permanent, tried and tested way to stop the bloody mice running amok in the roof? I know it's a common problem but I've yet to meet anyone who has really done anything about it. Any advice would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozsamurai Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 then you'd just have a dead cat in the roof! Best bet is to check how they are getting in, stuff the hole with steel wool (rusts though), put up plastic mesh etc... Mine started Muay Thai a week ago, I'm just waiting till they kill each other... Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I bought those trays with sticky glue on, put a piece of bread in the middle. I know it's not nice but they were increasing in number. Got the lot. Don't use poison cos they die somewhere you can't get to them and stink the place out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetley Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 A friend of wifeys recommended a slow acting poison that supposedly makes the mice/rats thirsty enough to leave and seek water. Put some down in our roof and remarkably worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 A friend of wifeys recommended a slow acting poison that supposedly makes the mice/rats thirsty enough to leave and seek water. Put some down in our roof and remarkably worked a treat. They come in a small blue sachet, most pest control companies have them. Also try spreading some moth balls ( neftaline ) in the roof cavity, the smell supposedly deters them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
