Exclamation I saw a mouse, where

there in the Mini, where in the Mini, right there, a little mouse with clogs on, well I declare
eating thru my heater pipe for fresh air! Oh yeah.

Ziggy has a mouse! It has set the friendly trap off twice now, got the food & still got out, shredded foam out the dash & chewed the end of the cold air inlet pipe off! Also moved all my car flyers out the door pocket!
Help.
And no I will not kill it.

Only way to get rid of it is kill it or catch it and take it as far away from population as possible (where it wont survive and still end up dead)

You catch it and let it go, it will either be right back in the mini the next day or it will get itself into some ones house and start causing problems there


Pet rats and mice are very different from the wild ones, wild ones carry disease like Leptospirosis, which can kill a human being and is passed on through the rodents urine, a rodent urinates almost constantly, you touch what the rodent has been on, fingers touch your lips, ciggy, food and into your system it goes.

Not only that, rodents are a destructive pest as you are already finding out through its chewing of the inside of your car, Mice have been the cause of many a house fire as they chew through electrical cables.

Bloody hell we got Johhny Morris on the forum!
Only joking Neo, well appreciated but I am an animal nut so I know most of that. I have tried the friendly trap again & bought the foulest smelling air freshener today so if he got any sense he will leave, I would!
Also did a bit of 60mph cornering tonight so may have made him travel sick!
