Even then it is turning into an expensive venture for many farmers who are dealing with millions of the little blighters! We have them under control here atm, hope it continues that way...Coming from the west coast of SA we call them "mompeys!"<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-27468093946159556412011-05-30T00:44:17.858+08:002011-05-30T00:44:17.858+08:00No, sonic does not work. I watched a video that sh...No, sonic does not work. I watched a video that showed that the desire for food overcomes the unpleasant sound. If there is no food, the sonic thing works. Oh well! <br /><br />I do not mind killing them, but I hate it when I have to clean blood off the walls. Yuck! Trap works for me.<br /><br />I read that the pee of a predator will keep them out. Cats on the premise will kill them. (okay, not working too well for you.) Maybe your husband will donate some. Male pee works better than female pee. <br /><br />Get a barn cat, a known mouser...worked for me.<br /><br />Clear any kind of debris from around outside of house.<br /><br />Look inside for the hole where they come in. I did that and sucessfully got rid of the RAT coming into my house. I did not kill him, but he did not try to find another entrance. At least find the cupboard hole...that worked for me with a mouse. <br /><br />Would you like it if someone dropped a mouse off at your house...LOL.<br /><br />I am not sentimental about pests. So, maybe I should not speak. A mouse to me is like a fly or pantry moth in the house. I live here, not pests who destroy my food or pollute it.<br /><br />I won't poison one either.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-66423456419153073282011-05-29T18:02:57.921+08:002011-05-29T18:02:57.921+08:00Hi Barb, no those sonic things do not work we have...Hi Barb, no those sonic things do not work we have one sitting in our cupboard "what a waste of money that was"just checked the price we paid for it was $88 in 2004. We also had a mouse in the house during the week didn't see it, just its trail of poop where it had been.I'm like you I hate killing them but hate them in our house. We have a humane trap that catches them and you let them go but I think they just come back again.I said to kev perhaps he can drop them off a few kms from here so they wont come back.<br />Not sure if you read my comment on your choko blog, I'd love you to come over for a visit, I'll make you lunch or morning tea or both, email me,have you still got my phone number.<br />Sherrie from simpleliving :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />'Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413758774374975978noreply@blogger.com
