    Mice in Van (again)

    Not to discredit your suggestion but I find these in most of the domestic rodent jobs I go to, when asked if they work by customers I tell them if they worked I'd try and sell you one. I have a photos somewhere of a mouse sitting on one, various chewed and with droppings deposited on top.

    Mice in Van (again)

    Exactly that yes, selontra. I have never used it for field mice, they tend to jump on traps readily enough I've had no need, central Cardiff is 9/10 house mouse little gits anyway. It is absolutely excellent for troublesome rat jobs, and used properly reduces a lot of the secondary poisoning...

    Mice in Van (again)

    Blocking any holes bigger than a 5p and keeping all food out or in tupperware tubs. If you can't block every hole then traps in boxes discretely placed, you can check them just by looking at the lid.
