Mice can be a problem. They manage to chew through most things.

You are certain correct there, the little b*****ds can climb anywhere and were after the nuts for the birds. They had chewed at the containers that the nut were in plus they had made a right mess. This was last year, so I got a humane trap and used to dump them at distance any in the fields but there must have been a family of them and it just continued.
I lost patience and got a battery powered trap for them from Screwfix. Basically and electric chair for mice, in they go after the food and touch the two plates and thats the end of them. Soon got rid of about half a dozen of them and that was that, till recently.
I have disposed of 2 a couple of weeks ago and there is no more evidence for the time being.

I have one of those as well. They work on rats as well although some of them are such big buggers that their arses often hang out the end, but quite effective nonetheless.

I have seen the larger sized version for sale for rats. The good thing about the electric chair is there isn't a mess to clear up.

A happy new year to my fellow smellers of cabbage and wee wee. May your new year bring you much to moan about and plenty of opportunity to pay dominoes up the pub.

In the comin year
May the saint protect ye-
An' sorrow neglect ye,
An' bad luck to the one that doesn't respect ye
t' all that belong to ye,
An long life t' yer honor-
That's the end of my song t' yer

Mornin' all and a Happy New Year!
For the first time, since I don't know when, there were absolutely no fireworks at midnight.
