I may have a big problem here ....
I am very afraid my garden "Toad Abode" has become a "Mouse House". Last time we had mice in the hostas and ivy, they grew to monstrous size from the copious amounts of bird seed put out for the fur covered birds. I wound up dislocating three fingers from "interactions" with them. What do I do now????!!!???
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Betty,
Buy several of those plastic mouse traps, the single use type. They have small holes that should keep the birds out but let the mice in. Set them right by the nesting area.

I've got an exceedingly healthy garter snake population going in our flower beds and around the woodpile in the backyard. Not many mice around at all. Occasionally I'll reach down to pick up a fallen branch and it will slither away, scaring the dickens out of me, but it's worth it. Now if they'd just get big enough to start eating the tree rats...

If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
I'm with hairwing, but don't waste good cheese. The peanut butter I have left after making fudge works very well & they can't steal it.

FAOL..All about caring, sharing, & good friends!!
Does Betty really want me tom-cattin' around her place? Would the neighbors put up with it? I think not.
Besides, what good is replacing mice with a rat?
Betty, get somebody else to set the traps.
I know a woodsman from Nunica, MI...
And to make this a hijack, (and speaking of toads and such) I hear that Newt Gingrich entered the presidential race today.
Popperfly, I don't exactly play with mice, but do you know how hard it is to comb dubbing off the little darlings?
