We have mice in our loft and I need to get rid of them...Before you start going on about leaving the "poor things to themselves"there are a number of very good reasons that they have to go - onebeing that they keep chewing the electric cables!!I filled a plastic dish with poisoned bait and placed it where I knewthey would find it (not far from where they had chewwed most of thelagging off my cold water pipes) and left it for a couple of weeks.I checked yesterday and at first couldn't find the dish! Then Inoticed a mound of fibreglass loft insulation and "bite-sized" (for amouse at least) bits of pipe lagging foam. This pile was about 4 or 5inches high. Under this pile was the dish of bait - seeminglyuntouched.So, have the mice discovered the bait, realised that it is bad news andhidden it to avoid any of thier group eating it?
