OK folks, this is getting serious .........
I've now lost a tray of broad bean seeds every night for a week.
I've seen a couple of mice running round and have put humane mouse traps along their runs, properly baited - one with beans and one with chocolate.
This morning the bean one was on its side and closed, nobody at home but far less damage to the seed tray - I'm now thinking the cuprit may be a red squiggle or even a weasel cos there's no mice or rat crap around.
Now the other trap still had the choc in at 4 this afternoon - when I went outside at 6 and checked it, the bloody chocolate was gone but the trap was closed and empty. Smarty mouse or WHAT!
So, my mate is wanting to get rid of his moggy - his wife died last year and it was her cat but he doesn't like animals. So, over the next week or so, Sam the Cat moves in with me - when I looked after him a few weeks ago he left dead things outside the front door for me so hopefully this less than humane way of disposing of the pesky varmints will work.
Little buggers should have surrendered in the first place, at least I'd have let them out of the traps a way away!
