    Been getting much rain there? It has been driving them into houses where I am and up in QLD that I know of. Was just talking to my sister on the phone and they trapped 3 while we were talking. They were in a town that flooded but they were high enough not to, and it is raining again.

    Hate the rotten things. My cat has nabbed 3 so far and my sisters dog got one when she came down to visit too. Yucky.

    We're up to 10 dead mice now. 6 in the house, 2 in the garage and 2 in the roof. I heard another one in the roof last night. It's a nightmare. We're in a new estate in Melbourne surrounded by roadworks galore, so totally not helping. Guys next door got an exterminator and the ones the other side have cats so they moved in with us, rotten things. Just keep putting the traps out hun

    MY FIL works for a grain company and he has been telling us of the astronomical numbers of mice that farmers are reporting all over the country.

    You're not the only one, we've been fighting a losing battle for a couple of months. We also have rats in the roof. I can hear them trying to scratch through! We're in Vic, massive plague!

    Well here in very central Oz, we've caught at least one a night since early Jan, more often more than one, sometimes up to four.....there's just lots round at the moment. Mice definitely never live alone.

    ewww we just caught a mouse inside with the assistance of the vacuum cleaner, really hoping it's the 1 that was in the garage. I posted on FB and for those who haven't seen or dont have me as a friend here's how it went:
    "BAHAHAHAHA Chris & I-1, Mouse-0, seen a mouse inside climbing up the other side of the blind Chris tells me i'm seeing & hearing things, i see the vacuum hose moving so i'm guessing the mouse in the vacuum hose Chris tells me that maybe i need more sleep because he's questioning what i'm seeing & hearing. So Chris picks up said vacuum hose says it's not there and the bloody thing almost jumps out at him, so i turned the vacuum on and sucked the mouse up into the bag and then took the vacuum outside put the bag in the bin and left the vacuum outside and that's where it's staying. i'm laughing but now i'm looking around at the slightest noise LOL. Huntsman spiders dont live in my house i certainly wasn't going to let the mouse stay especially when its not contributing needless to say there was a plastic bag on the sucker bit of the vacuum and that's the bit i was holding outside while Chris opened the vacuum and put the bag in the bin. The vacuum will be outside until atleast tomorrow when Chris will check it, luckily we have a 2nd vacuum but he'll be checking that before it comes inside."

    you can laugh at me/us i am

    We live in the bush, mice are rampant here. Our cat keeps them at bay. We have never seen one in the house in the 11 years we've had her.

    You'll probably find there is a nest under your house somewhere. Mice usually only go into the house one at a time to take food back, or so I'm told. You have to kill them at the nest. Put Ratsak under the house, in the roof and in the cupboards you hear them rustling around in.

    I'm sure I have them on my roof, coz there is a cat going crazy on the roof everynight. Very noisy. Wakes me up at night!
