feral discusting things.
how many is to many? i recon thats way to many each SNAP of the trap has me devistated the one prior wasnt the last, surly there cant be any more right??
will they ever stop, or will they just keep coming?
AGGHHH:wall:
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.
want me to send you my cat? He's a very good mouser :rofl:
isn't there a mouse plague atm? we have 1 in our garage i've never seen it but DF has and we're in Canberra.
where we live there are rats everywhere! you're lucky that you've caught 6 in a trap! usually we only catch one or 2 before they figure it out and don't go back! grrrr so annoying :wall:
yep the creepy things are out and about lately. We have a rat in the roof above our bedroom and i swear it's building a nest!! and traps don't work hmmm.... time to find those baits.
Mums house has a few mice running around and yeh they are too smart for the traps too because she puts them out but they eat the bait and don't get caught in them!!!
They are running around the house and it is scary!
She lives in Syd
I was in the pet store yesterday and they said that there is a plague in Melbourne so it is a possibility that there are a lot more (sorry!)
Oh my god I thought we where the only ones! My husband is going insane trying to catch them! I found a clip on a bucket trap on u tube last night that we are going to try out.
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 :hug:
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!
Eta- you're south east too sarah, it's really bad out here!!

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.
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.
sometimes over easter break pet stores and animal welfare let you foster an animal lol... maybe you can borrow a cat haha!:

Ew disgusting!! I'm in Melb... Hope I don't see any... Yurgh.
Well I wont tell you I saw on a dead one on the driveway here the other day OP ;-)
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!
Not sure where u are, but we (and surrounding areas) wete warned of a plague. We have been catching same amount as you, and you can even see them running across the highway esp at night. Dh regularly runs over them in his truck. We were basically told just keep catching them...they will still just keep comming.

LOL, the people next door are going away for Easter and I asked before if I could borrow their cat. I think the guy thinks I'm joking!:
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 :lol:
When I woke up just then I could hear one scratching about in my room. I think the mice are winning at my place...
