I hate mice - those little dirty nasty things always leaving thier poo everywhere - GROSS
We have not been in our house very long, so I guess before we moved here it belonged to a rather large family of mice.So far I have not seen them anywhere near the chicken coop, I mean why should they go out in the cold when I have the heater on in the house and they have all the bird feed they can eat ( in my birds cages ).
Does anyone know of a way to kill them?? I cant leave bait around everywhere because dogs have been coming in house since it is cold now, I dont want to leave glue traps everywhere ( for same reason ). I thought about getting those things you plug in that is sopposed to scare mice away, but worry it will drive my two inside birds nuts- has anyone used these before?
I am trying to fight a losing battle here, every morning with my cup of coffee I get a mini heartache while I go to my birds cage to say good morning a mouse jumps out and runs off !! ( same bird that will bite the crap out of me but will not hurt the mouse ! )
And getting a cat is out of the question ( the cat fur hurts my eyes)
I know chickens will eat mice sometimes, should I just let some of my hens start sleeping in house ?? DH will love that one LOL
