X2 on the Racumin. We used to have a mouse problem, Racumin worked a treat, just couldn't keep up until a family of king skinks kindly moved in. King skinks got fat...mouse problem gone.Quote:

They have done untold damage so far and have even pinched all the seedlings that I planted yeserday and have also started digging up the seeds I planted as well.
Most of the farms around here have started their seeding programmes and I imagine that the mice will also take a toll on crops by eating the seed and chewing out the new shoots as well.
I am So over these damned rodents.
Snakes, Trout, you need snakes!
My resident carpet snakes are all too fat to move at the moment.Quote:

Apparently they dont like light,so many on properties park the vehicles in a shed and leave the shed lights on all night.
The little beggers have destroyed a couple of fridges by chewing the wireing But thankfully the 79 has escaped so far.
I need someone to invent a muzzy coil that works on rodants
As far a light goes the little sod's here are mobile during daylight.
I have made a bucket trap and have put it in tbe veggie patch So I will see how that goes,If it works I will make many more.
Leaving the bonnet up helps, too. Especially in the cooler months, after parking a vehicle with a warm motor.Quote:

They have never chewed anything that has Tectyl on it,i recoat every 12 months approx.
Its the mice here that cause the majority of damage,not the rats.
