HENthusiastic Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 You cruel woman, I can't believe you chased that poor defenceless mouse away and left it without any chickenfeed and then set the cat on it. Especially after it left you all those chocolate drops. Will you sleep tonight. PLUM You naughty person. You are supposed to be reassuring me that this is the right thing to do, not pulling on my heart strings. especially as we have now found a chocolate drop on the sofa! I have images of Egluntine crouched outside the cupboard with rolling pin in hand and a menacing look in her eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think what you have done sounds humane. I don't think I should tell you what my neighbour does to any mice he finds in his house. Let's just say his method involves something called Henry that isn't a cat.

I have images of Egluntine crouched outside the cupboard with rolling pin in hand and a menacing look in her eye I think Egluntine crouched behind the sofa looking for chocolate drop depositers might hit Karina on the head I do think you are very brave dealing with it. I hope I am never in that situation and have to dispose of them. well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ah she's playing it safe with the company you keep Do you mean me, I've no idea what ou're talking about . Poor K sat and ate a dry cream cracker last time we were there, while OH and I sat opposite her and demolished the rocky roads she had baked . How cruel were we , and how disciplined was she .

Alis girls Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 R u a meece free zone now then? I am somewhat confused as it sounds that way if so well done. I must admit the thought of emptying hoover bag with a meece in it left me cold I emptied ours the other day and a spider somewhat groggy staggered out!!

mostin Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ohhh I didn't know Ikea did metal bins. How much are they please. The big ones are about £11 and the smaller ones are about £8. Ihave 2 of the big ones, one for pellets and one for corn, and one of the little ones to keep their mealworms and raisins in. I don't have any rodent problems but my girls used to peck holes in the bags and help themselves . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My grandpa used to get rats in their veg garden where a stream ran through the bottom; he used to fettle them withh a shovel - one went for his ankles once, I remember it clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My best friend and her OH came round to help build my new WIR at the weekend. Their daughter had opened the patio door that morning to be faced with a big rat . It ran off but they've put poison down. How ironic that I'm the one with the chickens yet they got the rat .
