its winter ,most people have mice ,they are just very smart
most never notice or see them ,but more people have mice then know they have mice
now a rat ,you usually notice their droppings ,but they are good at staying hid too ,,

@rckt148 yes, I concur with all of that, apart from the pot seeds. The British authorities frown upon that - especially when one works for them! Unless of course one could use hemp seed instead. Perfectly legitimate fishing bait, as long as you don't let it sprout! Peanut butter definitely a good idea. I have used chocolate and sultanas with it to good effect in my traps. There are so many ways in for the little critters, I tend to leave the mice to it unless there's a problem - like keeping us awake at night with their scrabbling. Rats, however, I can't abide. It's all-out war. Luckily, at the moment we have a couple of excellent ratters among our outdoor cats - and not keeping chickens helps too, as the vermin don't have such an attraction to our little homestead. I loved the story about the grits packet. I won't ask if you found the mouse family a safe home outside .... ☺

@Cheesecake I have 2 snakes now ,Indigo's
Rattle snakes won't come around where they are and I have heard any rodents in the duct work after this huge rat I got a glimpse of .
I set traps and I heard them all go off ,
I open a cabinet in time to see it ,as big as a cat I kid you not .
I shoot where I seen it go ,but I can hear it banging in the duct work .
Well my son comes in saying there is a huge snake in the yard ,I go check it out and its an indigo and a smaller one (the big one has been here some time ).
I tell him how to tell it from a cotton mouth ,but to leave them alone .
I hear beating and banging and not another mouse or sign of a rat since .
I killed 3 cotton mouths here after the hurricanes we had this summer ,so my son knew the difference ,he come in frantic to get me to show me a huge one under our blueberry trees (they are overgrown they are no longer bush's )
So I am glad to know he knows the difference .
Have you seen the movie the green mile ?
Maybe those mice are in some little mouse circus ,,I do live in Florida ,
But I found the ones in the Grit box in North Carolina .that all I'm saying LOL.
I do not smoke weed but I do know who can get me seeds
Even my Mom before she passed asked me "Can you get me some more of those pot seeds ,your right ,those buggers can't resist them " LOL
In the US with weed now becoming legal I am sure they will be either easier or harder to get ,,I hear after 3rd generation they are as worthless as hemp anyway .Have a great day young man
