Mice in grainstore

[Fen Farmer]

We seem to have a handful of mice we can't seem to rid from our grain stores. We have grain in store all year round, so we seem to have trouble getting rid of them permanently. Currently got poison positioned all around the outside of the stores and have seen the odd dead one, but can never seem to clear them right up!
From reading previous threads would glue boards be the best option? Have tried a few of the plastic mouse traps with limited success.

Any advice appreciated.

The glue traps are very good! If you can make it work I’d try and empty the store earlier and break the availability of food to the little critters.

Plenty of glue boards is the answer, they even catch the bluebottles that come to the party..

I have found the pitfall traps (into a bucket) to be effective

Racumin foam is very good but bloody expensive (one can does go a long way) . Put it where they have holes and they get it on their fur and groom it off. Found it great for grain and potato stores where its hard to get them to take poison

 

[Try to succeed]

I used traps in combination with one of those sound boxes that do all sorts of high pitch noises, can’t really decide whether it worked or not... traps and live catch box traps worked

Another vote for glue boards.

Bit of a tongue in cheek question but how do you kill and dispose of the bodies?

Take the box outside and open in front of the dogs ....... they find mice quite tasty.

Have tried the glue boards for starters with the first catch today!

Glue boards or with grain flooring crank up the fan and play "splat the rat" or as Boris would say "whackamole"

Take them round to "insert local peta / vegan doogooders" and put them through the letterbox? Live ones. They love nature.

yes but mice make them fart , so only suitable for outdoor dogs

I haven’t come across many stores that you can keep mice out of.
Monitoring the store and acting to. Ontt and eradicate if their is an issue is good practice, as long as you record it all

I've read the threads on here about rat and mice problems and protocol................. no one has a clue what the correct answer is to please the FA mafia !!

Anyone thought about buying a rat from the local pet store and putting it in a cage in the shed. Wonder if the mice would go??

Another vote for Glue boards.
We alternated glue boards and then traps, changing every 2 or 3 weeks. Done a good job.
