give him all the stash he wants. It's probably one of my gypsy cousins and that's what he's there for.
I don't let him know where I live, lol.
I have 3 cats outside and they seem to do a great job of keeping the cousins and critters away.
Wouldn't want to be without one again. good luck with your problem. They are not fun when not invited.

Thank goodness, I actually have 2 mousers who masquerade as lazy house cats mostly. They do not eat the mice but they do kill them so I'm happy with many of their (cats) other antics. It is getting colder so yes the danged things are coming in. I do like the shotgun approach thinking but worry about damaging the computer - today I like the computer.

Two rat terriers. Mice don't last long in our house - or, for that matter, anywhere around our house.

Load a trap with a bit of peanut butter, then top it off with a marshmallow. Works every time!

Seems like sticky traps catch me more than mice. I have found that rubber cement thinner works very well to get the "glue" from glue traps off your shoes, out of fabric, off of socks and knitted house shoes, etc.

My dad used a live trap to get squirrels and took them to the park to play. I understand that, now, there are laws about releasing live animals. If you live in the city, you have to think of that, I guess.

Niizh - when we have really big mice here we call them something else - it has 3 letters - hehehe
