Hahahaha! I've been sharing the space with bloody cute mice since last year November :eek:

When I saw them for the first time, I was absolutely shocked! Mice ate my Raspberry Licorice in the cutlery draw. :eek:... It's a damn MESS every where! holy sh*t :eek:

The funny thing is I've lived in Welly for 10 years and we had never seen any mice while I was living with my parents but... this is actually for the first time mice around my (own) place....... It's nasty and disgusting.

I bloody hate them! :curse:


only a sticky mouse trap works for me - but you can't get them in Welly, I would think :rofl:

also I bloody hate to get rid of the real sticky dead/alive mice from the sticky mouse trap with my hands each time! That's the worst (the most disgusting) job I've ever had in my life!

oh... I am gonna vomit now

I'd relax, you almost certainly don't have any mice in your house.

Now...New Zealand rats are a different matter. They are much smaller than other rats and can easily be mistaken for mice. Was it quite dark with a long tail?

We had the same problem in our house and our landlady blamed.....(drumroll).....Pacific Islanders!!! My, how we laughed.

Anyway, we had the man come round and he put a few poison traps down and we have never been bothered since. I'd suggest you do the same.

ah, the reason NZ is a cat loving nation - well high cat population anyway!

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

ur having a bubble arent you?

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

Maybe.....



what does 'having a bubble' mean?

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

bubble barf - larf

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

ah....straight up, guv. It's not apples and lice, it's apples and hats.

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

The best way to sort out your rodent problem is to do just what we did and buy an ugly scabby cat. Worked for us. Lovely.

Re: mouse in the house!!
 

oh my god even worse its not a mouse its a rat.....don't they have even more babies!!!

Buy a proper mouse trap like I did, bait it with cheese and kill them. I have had a larder full of mouse crap and wee. I relocated 2 of them to start with..they returned...then the killing fields started. I will not tolerate rodents in my house. I am the mouse terminator. The soft option failed. Lethal force prevails at no. 6. For mice anyway. And fies. And cockroaches..oh ants too. And mozzies plus sand flies. All others are welcome.

And I thought the cheese trick with mice was an old wifes tale! Apparently they like sugary things, hence mice eating crap coffees strawberry liquorice. ;)

We had scratting in our attic and found mice droppings, we went for the less mess option and purchased poison - it makes them so dehydrated it eventually kills them (shop told us its more humane :sneaky:). Not sure what happened to them but we now have peaceful nights and had no lingering smells of festering bodies :thumbsup:

Mice like chocolate!

Be aware, you can't use a poison trap if you drink rain water like my parents. Because (poisoned) rats go up to the roof and poison the drinking water :eek:

In Auckland I can see (from our kitchen window) a large rat every single day around backyard garden. It's big & disgusting and there's no way we can get rid of them because they are smart, indeed. and the garage - it seems like a little paradise for them :eek::rofl:

My brother slept next to a mouse in bed :eek: last year plus rats actually bred in our boiler room (next to the lounge) - mum found loads of dead new born baby mice there :eek::eek:

my place in Welly - mice poo everywhere at the mo - on my woolen skirt, bed sheets, inside of the tissue box and all over the place! :curse:

btw how to find/get rid of poisoned dead mice -? because you don't even know where they are (in your house)? that's the problem I think
