We have mice in the house one strolled passed Helen while she was cooking tea and went down the back of the range as cool as you like .. also she found two dead bodies when she took the washing down to wash in the cellar where our washing machine is plumbed in.
They looked like that they must have died from hypothermia as they were only babies and no poison is being used .

A while ago the rabbits hutch had mice in the bedding so we knew that they was around and about our garden backs on to fields and hedges and with the cold weather we have been having recently they have no doubt headed for the warmth of our house more than likely getting through the footings and the void of pillars and joists that the conservatory sits on.

we have decided we are going to place traps which are to be baited with either milky way bar "we have been told that mice find them irresistible "or my choice is to bait the traps with raw bacon but as long as we get a result who cares.

So today at lunch time i will have to go to the Market in Leeds and buy some mouse traps think i will need minimum of half a dozen trouble with that is if each trap gets a mouse then i would say we had a major infestation this is going to freak Helen out even more she hates the little blighters.

One good thing about this is it might now be good time to explain to the landlord about the reason that we have had Bobby our cat with out asking his permission for the last few months.
The cat resides upstairs and never ventures down unless we bring her down to play with our dog which has the bottom use of the house , our dog Ellie has only just figured out
this week how to use the stairs she can now make it to the top landing but cant get back down as of yet we have to carry her down .
