Should I hate meeces to peeces?

[cougie uk]

Having decided that I really had to rid one of my lesser sheds of mice, and done so quite successfully, we are now seeing some in the garden.

Should I go full Rambo on them, or just think 'Ahhh, ain't they cute' and leave them alone?

I just tidied my garage up and took away all their food. They buggered off. I don't like killing critters.

Get a cat?

Not a useless one like I used to have - he would regularly half kill a mouse then bring it into the house so I had to dispatch the creature myself. My good lady friend has one who is surprisingly lethal, despite being 16.

I'd rather have the meeces, but thanks 😂

In that case I suggest you capture them and train them so you can travel the lands with a mouse circus.

You can put a tall post with a T bar on the top in your garden, so Owls have a perch from where they can catch more rodents. You can soon see if its used by wear marks on it. I put up a Owl box and that sorted the Squirrel problem as well.

The mouse or the cat?

Oh, I like that idea!

I'll build one tomorrow. Plenty of squirrels here.

An interesting idea, I shall explore. The grey tree rats have been visible in our garden recently.

How tall is 'tall'?

How tall is 'tall'?

Good question. As a tree surgeon I would say anything over 80ft. But for the purpose of a T bar think more like close line post (which i have adapted in the past) and above.

Should I go full Rambo on them...

That reminds of an incident about 30 years ago... a chap I know discovered he had bats in his loft. He chucked the cat up there, closed the hatch and let nature take its course.
