Re: Help! MICE!!!!

Try the butter in a milk bottle..one milk bottle partly buried laying flat , except the top..smear with butter , partly fill with water..Mr Mouse smells the butter , has a nibble or two , then slips down the bottle neck into the water...
Sounds harsh ..but works well !!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
