Exactly why poison is a bad idea imo. Snap traps are perfectly good enough

First time they've had a go at a bed or chair.

I've had 2 air dry boilie bags destroyed, so now they just hang on a hook airing out.

I'm going to get one Keter plastic storage box and also lay some traps. Had enough of the sods.

Im not sure but as they are so cheap only £10 for 2 boxes
and so I buy new ones every 18 months Im sure they remain effective for a few years though so the old ones I put every where my caravan my loft my 2 sheds etc I have 2 wooden sheds with sacks of hempseed party blend halibut pellets bedchairs landing nets bags of shelf life boiles and have never had any problems with mice damage

once or twice a year I find a dead mouse its always right next to or inside the baited box as this stuff is pretty much instant I box will kill up to 50 mice so for a Tenner that is potentially 100 dead mice

this all started when I moved out of my flat and moved in with a girlfriend she had a big house already furnished of course and double garage and so we put the entire contents of my flat squeezed in there it was stacked to the roof
!
after around a couple of months or so I went into the garage in the day and saw mouse run across the floor I felt sick !.......as I had a new 3 piece sweet new bed etc I could actually smell the mice piss so I nipped up to the local hardware store and bought ALL his mouse traps half a carrier bag full around 17 I think it was the wooden type
I baited them with all sorts peanut butter, chocolate biscuits ,cheese , chocolate , jam ,honey 48 hours later I had caught 4 !

feeling happy with myself I began pulling stuff out to find the source of the smell as I pulled a rolled up duvet at least 2 mice jumped out !! and it was just one of the places they had made a nest !

I phoned a friend he told me go get yourself some baited mouse boxes from B&Q much better than traps its why pest controllers use them FFS ?
I bought 2 boxes as you know there are 2 in each box so place the 4 baited boxes around near the traps 48 hours later I went into the garage again and found NONE in the traps but picked up 17 dead mice

The shed to my door had a gap underneath it so they could have possibly got in that way,anyhow I've now sealed that up and left a couple of baited traps out so time will tell.

I can't see any other way they can get in as I lined my shed with 15mm ply ages ago,but if they somehow have got in then I will buy the poison traps and just discard them carefully 👍

hi im looking to store my large trakker bedchair in a plastic box that will stop damp smell getting into it making it smell
or a thick bag that will keep out damp smell,i thought abt making a bag out of thick canvas type material but im told it will hold damp smells
trakker do a bag and ive requested they call me but damp penetrates easily imo
so a box would be a better idea i presume
any ideas please ?

it would be so nice to have it all laid out in my home but.....
Are you sure?
