Before we went to Oz Emma bought me some bulbs in a pretty pot. I put them in the shed and knew they would be ready to flower when we came back. When I went to get them it was obvious they had been eaten by a mouse. While it was in the shed it also helped itself to my gardening jumper and a big cushion from a lounger. Mice don't usually bother me but we've got a lot of stuff in the shed, so mousey had to go. I bought some mouse bait and after a few days it wasn't being taken so I knew the mouse had probably gone to that big field in the sky. Ahhh.
Of course ,the problem with mice is that they always have a nest and rarely are they solitary. So, as the weather was good yesterday I decided to go on a mouse hunt in the shed.
This is what I found
One jumper well and truly nibbled
One chair nibbled and full of bait.
Another chair nibbled and full of bait.
The nest
and just visible,the little culprit.
Here he is, quite dead.
He must have been storing all that bait for leaner times as he certainly wasn't eating it all.
Anyway, I've now got a super clean shed even if I am missing a cushion or two and hopefully no more mice.
