Hello,

The thing with mice is that if there is one there are usually quite a few. My friend had loads in her garage and she used humane traps to catch them and then drove them to the other side of a river and let them out so that they wouldn't come back.

You can get humane traps from hardware stores or B&Q etc. I had a couple in my house and found that the best thing to put in the traps is either squeezy cheese or chocolate.

Good luck with your mouse catching and I hope you get your piggies soon.

thankyou deltakc
i just found on the net that mice like peanut butter,also said about haning tumble dryer sheets around the shed,so i will give that a go,anything to get my pigge's.

Ooo, I hadn't heard of tumble dryer sheets! Is it something in them that the mice don't like?

Sorry hit thanks by accident
I think its the strong smell of the sheets they dislike but I would reccomend removing them before Piggies go in as they also may be offended by the smell xx

well dad went in the shed to see if there were any sighns of mice and there were no droppings or anything,fingers crossed.
I did wonder if the dryer sheets might bother the piggies.
