Mouse in the house
After finding an electrical cable that has been chewed by mice I went on the offensive and bought some traps from Envirotools a couple weeks ago. I bought one that mounts into the ceiling and is accessed from below and 2 mice/rat traps.
We have caught one mouse in the kitchen, 9 in the roof and a rat under the house in just 2 weeks. I had heard that if you see a mouse in the house you will have multiple in the roof but I hadn't thought it would be anything like that. The really cool thing about the ceiling one is that when the trap goes off a little red button pops down and lets you know it's sprung so you don't have to keep checking it
With so many different traps available it's nice to find one that works really well
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
