Should I hate meeces to peeces?

which is why its important to put your worn undies in the freezer?

I had a friend with an owl who used to keep mice in his freezer.

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

Or a mouse organ...

The owl had a freezer?

My neighbour used to feed the birds with copious amounts of seed which was also appreciated by the rodent population....When they left and the food supply tap was turned off they all came knocking or rather it was an invasion..little ***** everywhere. I did use the traditional trap but occasionally doesnt kill cleanly and had to put the unfortunates lights out with a spanner Only real cure was to stop access of any kind and bought some of that expanding foam stuff to plug any gaps around pipe work etc also keeps the spiders out

Expanding foam stuff does not work as they love it and eat their way through. Also it corrodes copper pipes apparently and you then have burst pipes and mice.
I never had burst pipes as a plumber was installing a new shower and told me this before any damage was done. In any case most of the foam had been eaten through by then anyway.

Oh dear! Thanks oldwheels for the info. I havent had mice since I used the foam maybe they left to find another bird feeder. I'll certainly remember your advise when i get to buy my own cabin or cottage

If you find the crumb tray of your toaster full of mouse poo you tend to lose any affection you had for mice remarkably quickly. Rentokil advanced mousetraps are good.

Isn't that a win win? Meeces tidy up the crumbs and leave you something for the compost heap. Yep - it's a win win

Useless Mouse Fact Alert:

Mice don't have bladders. They piss everywhere all the time.

Lovely nitrogen for the compost

Many years ago we found mouse poo in a slice of bread from a supermarket!

It was the same supermarket that had sparrows flying about inside.

Come round and use our toaster.

[Salty seadog]

Doesn't that rather defeat the point of humane capture?

You're correct. Release them to the fields and shoot the owls.
