Apparently it is intensely irritating to rodents, so they get fed up and leave. However, it is no good if you have any pets in the house because it will drive them insane tooKim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-8563175730478805252011-05-22T11:34:15.334+01:002011-05-22T11:34:15.334+01:00Rashbre: har har har!Rashbre: har har har!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-16703561642556951812011-05-21T10:54:32.848+01:002011-05-21T10:54:32.848+01:00I couldn't help laughing when I read this.

The "Mouse Caper"...LOL, LOL.....Ahhhh yes! The "Mouse Caper"....<br />Many many years ago when I had three cats--I used to let them go out into the garage to explore and do whatever...."Sugar" brought a Mouse into the House---and he was so proud! He kept playing with it and batting it around...I tried to get it away from him, feeling very sorry for the dead or dying mouse. Finally I got it away from him and carred it outside where it promptly came out of it's pretend death-throws and scampered away. He had been playing dead. Smart Mouse.<br />There were no more trips into the garage for my cats after that! (lol) Good luck with getting rid of any other little cratures, my dear.<br /><br />BTW: a new post is up now. I hope you don't mind my telling you this way since I am not on any Google Reader thingy or whatever......OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-55754205389388725902011-05-20T10:31:26.147+01:002011-05-20T10:31:26.147+01:00Judy: I just hope he hasn't got a homing insti...Judy: I just hope he hasn't got a homing instinct.<br /><br />Sandy: who would have believed it?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-15144858797040434752011-05-20T08:32:05.141+01:002011-05-20T08:32:05.141+01:00Like Helen, I have to catch the mice the cats brin...Like Helen, I have to catch the mice the cats bring in - if they're still alive - and put them outside.<br />I remember one occasion when three cats were watching a tiny mouse they had cornered but not one of them attempted to catch it. That was left to me! Like Helen, I grab them by the tail.
