leanne...

we have two dogs... and we kept their dry food in a room out the back of our house (bit like a bungalow). Anyway... mice found the food and decided to have a party. Because of the dogs, we couldn't use tradtional mouse traps or poison bait... so we picked up awesome traps from Bunnings for $2 each.
They are a long blue tube with a little door at one end. The tube is slightly "V" shaped. So you put peanut butter in one end... and the other end balances with the door open. But when the mouse goes in there... the trap falls to the other end and the door closes... and there is no way they can get out. We would then sticky tape the door shut and throw the whole thing away. It resolved our mouse problem. (and putting the dog food in a big plastic container too).

kim... I thought you were getting more sleep now that Darcy had settled. ???
