F**king field mice...
I know everywhere online says "oooh if you have found one there are many more around", but (touch wood), this doesn't seem to be the case around here.
Found one about 6-12 months ago (single one that had shit everywhere). After we disposed of it we kept a close lookout and found no signs of droppings or mice anywhere else. It was in the house over a month we believe and shit up a storm. After it was caught there was no other signs for over 6 months (indicating a single mouse).
That was about 12 months ago.
About a week ago found some gnawed chocolate on a table and thought "hmm that's strange". Had also heard slighty scurrying in the roof on the odd occassion, only maybe once every 2-3 nights and fairly infrequent. I figured "cockroach or cricket". Anyway another one appeared today in the recycling bin in our kitchen. Was clear last night, but today this little mouse was stuck in there. I suspect it may have been coming in and out of the house, climbed up the curtain, and fallen in, as it couldn't get out.
Anyway off to the death chamber (metal bin with ratsack in it okkystrapped lid to prevent dog getting in) it went.
Surely it can't be a major infestation or we'd have seen heaps of droppings, spotted a mouse, or heard things in the roof.. am I right?
