Me squeamish - yep! Love your method of disposal. I had found some traps that just close a door and don't kill the mouse, but then what are you supposed to do with them? Take them out into the garden and ask them nicely to not come back? gillbear - what do you do with the mice you catch? Where do you get the mesh traps from? Looks like a trip to Bunnings for me this afternoon. Sorry for your awful experience Josh. How sad.

Peanut butter? Really? Yes - I had thought about the smell of a dead mouse in some obscure place.... *gags*

I'm getting my first puppy next Monday. Very, very excited. My partner and I went grocery shopping on NYE & bought a loaf of bread. On NYD, he went to make some toast late in the evening. He grabbed two slices of bread out of the packet and asked me why I had taken a bite out of each. Upon further inspection, we have discovered at least 2 mice inhabiting our kitchen. bf saw one crawling into the toaster whilst the other one went at the bread bag again… I am disgusted by them, but am also really reluctant to kill them. However, if they eat through the plastic bread bag, what else are they going to get into. We bought some poison yesterday but haven’t put any down yet… Neither of us want to use it and are kinda hoping they’ll just go away… Unlikely, I know... They'll just breed and multiply. So - what's the implications of laying down poison and the introduction of a puppy into the household? The poison will be placed behind the fridge - an area inaccessible by the pup... Should we just use mousetraps, or should I call the real estate and get the landlord to fix the rodent problem?
