Why then does standard rodent protection mesh have holes rather bigger than a ball point pen? Unless it's a Tonka Toy one...

The mice that come in are very often juveniles leaving the nest (at
3weeks, adults are 6-7 weeks). They are thus smaller than adult mice. Wild mice are also generally much smaller and scrawnier than pet shop/lab equivalents. Life is hard as well as red in tooth and claw and nasty, brutish and short.Peter
Our bastard cat has brought home half a squirrel, with the entrails dragging behind it, which it deposited in the middle of the rug in the front room. And a budgie; I dread to think how he got that. And a wounded mouse which he seems to have dropped in the hall, where it crawled into a child's shoe and died. I found it some time later, when it was crawling with maggots.
The bird population of our garden had rocketed since the our cats died. I wouldn't have another.
Likewise in Bedford. Sat in the garden having a beer, having just dug up about 10 sq meters of lawn to make a vegetable plot, watching the swifts eating the flies that were bothering me!
