I have a spare one ! Neighbour's cat likes to sleep on my bonnet ; leaves pawprints everywhere . It is very good at catching mice and often walks around with one in its mouth .
If I can get it bagged-up I will post it on

Thanks all for the reactions, I will go for the peppermint oil trick first (thanks Andy) and hopefully that will work sufficiently.

Seems important to use pure oil, will order this tomorrow.

Cheers from Holland.

Ps, I did made a sign forbidden entry for tiny animals, but they seem to ignore this. Maybe because they cannot see properly enough in the darkness..

I had the same problem with mice.

I would try the suggestion from Trikey.
If that doesn't work I am using this product, that has cured the problem for me.

Thanks, that is also a good tip. I will keep it in mind for sure.
