We've got a mouse in the loft and are wondering whats the most likely way it got up there. Her mother reckons they can climb drain pipes, although I can't see it. Will they be able to climb the cavity? We had one a couple of years and not had any since ( always left the traps set) suppose this time of the year is when they will come off the fields looking for some where warm. Anyone else had one in the loft?

they can indeed climb drainpipes and crawl up cavity walls.

Come on

Mice can get ANYWHERE and everywhere up through the back of walls. Nothing stops them if they want in!

Buy a cat or mousetrap's or poison! Didnt think it was mentally taxing getting rid of a mouse tbh?

with poison, what happens if they die soemwhere that you can't get to?

dont' want to be pulling up the floorboards for weeks to find the smeely cunt

D.K.

Dress up as a ninja and place a chunk of cheese in the middle of your floor, hide in a cupboard or somewhere and sit and wait for the little critter to smell the cheese then just as he's about to tuck in bam stamp on the fooker, job done

Dunno bout this approach TBH... I saw this tv show once where this big black lady bought a cat called Tom to get rid of a mouse in her house. Anyway, this gritty documentary followed the cat around and observed each way he tried to get rid of this mouse, which they had called Jerry. But in each episode, the mouse continually took the piss out of this cat and as far as I can remember it survived?!

If you use the poision it dehydrates then and theres no smell. could always buy a shotgun, and start blowing holes in the wall and floor!

poison dehydrates them and they go back outside to get a drink and thats where they die
we had mice a few month back in our loft and was told this.

Caught it last night (hopefully there's only one) nearly shit myself. Got woken by a load of banging at 3 in the morning, thought the ceiling was coming down. The trap caught the little shit on the end of nose. Would still like to know how the little sod got up there

Gritty documentary

My neighbour has em in the loft, I get then in the attic of my garage. Lil sods can climb any where.

I use a humane trap and some bird seed! Just let em go miles away! Caught about half a dozen of em now. Had one putting peanuts in the Air box of my Audi!

f you think you have mice, then you have about 6 weeks to kill the parents else in 12 weeks time you could have 36

Errrrrrrr the peanut butter's for the mouse not you Dojj. Cavity wall would be my bet (rats can also climb up the cavity). A mouse can get through a hole the diameter of a Bic pen.
