If you can imagine a long box about 12 inches long with small entry holes each end. Two low dividers in the middle. The mouse can get into then box and run full length of it by hopping over the dividers. The middle section holds mouse bait. Each end the mousetraps are set inside and the minute the mouse goes into the hole the mouse is caught in a trap. If it misses the trap there is poison in the middle. I cant take a photo of mine as I would need to clean it up for the photo and my new injury wont allow that. Sorry.

I have 3 mouse traps and ratsak in my breeding room, caught one micy about a month ago but nothing since. :hap: SO FAR.

Have been lucky, haven't seem any evidence of any mice in the flights YET.

Is it something like this?

No

I understand your idea of the box, but I thought you meant that you had a particular type mouse trap set in the middle compartment, but from what you have said now, I get that is not the case.

yuck mice:S i fnd a dead rat in the backyard the other day... dog got it i was worried for a minute my birds may have attracted it but it wasn't a feral rat it was a pet one just by colours:S some poor kid somewhere's gonna be a little upset... good dog but:D

found this on the net a while ago. mix some corn powder with some concrete powder. mice eats then gets thirsty has a drink then concrete sets. no more mice. haven't tried this yet. might sound cruel but my birds are more important to my than pests.

Yes I have heard of that Timbo, and it is a lot safer than rat sac.

Sounds so cruel, but I will have to do something like that too, as we have mice (maybe even rats) in the new house, because the previous owners were very messy :ausb: :sad:

If they are in the house, the mice & you use the corn & concrete mix.You will have little blocks of concrete,in the walls or were ever theyare nesting. :sad:

I'm actually thinking how to do this. If I use this mix and they die behind a wall (we have plaster board everywhere, so there is space between the wall and the plaster board), then they will smell in there !!!

I guess I will have to use traps, so they don't die somewhere where I can't reach them

we use those to trap squirrels and oposums in my area (they can be very distructive!) then they are rehomed at a park about 5 miles away! LOLbeing in So Cal... with palm trees and ivy everywhere, every garden has rats! not sewer rats, but a sable version of a "pet rat". last winter we kept hearing them in the wall by my bed, so hubby set up a night vision camera and put it in the attic and hooked it to the tv in the bedroom. when we heard them scampering around, we flicked on the tv and saw 1 big mama! hubby threw so rat poison bates up there and the next day she was dead. Fortunatly we havent had once since (that we've heard!) but still cant find the hole she was using to get in (and they can go thru some small holes!!!) anyways, that my nasty rat story! hehehe
