    ....What am I gonna do?

    Spotted it when wheeling the bike out earlier, but it scarpered under
    the workbench.

    How does one go about finding if the little fuckers are nesting, or if
    it just snuck in under the door, and has likely snuck out again.

    1) Get or borrow a cat. (Costs money to feed)
    2) Go down the pet shop and get some bait.(Costs money to buy)
    3) Use a 12 bore (Costs money and time to repair garage)
    4) Lay in front of where you saw it last, wait until it sees you and dies!
    (Costs **** All)

  3. Have a poke around and look for mouse shit. If they're in regular
    attendance or nesting somewhere in the garage, you'll find excremental
    evidence. Lots of it, usually.

    Try putting down some bread mixed in neat anti-freeze, that will kill the
    little blighter.

    Maybe for you it is, but the dicxtionary tells me otherwise...

    Main Entry: sneak
    Pronunciation: 'snEk
    Function: verb
    Inflected Form(s): sneaked /'snEkt/; or snuck /'sn&k/; sneak·ing
    Etymology: akin to Old English snIcan to sneak along, Old Norse snIkja
    intransitive senses
    1 : to go stealthily or furtively : SLINK
    2 : to act in or as if in a furtive manner
    3 : to carry the football on a quarterback sneak
    transitive senses : to put, bring, or take in a furtive or artful manner
    <sneak a smoke>
    synonym see LURK
    - sneak up on : to approach or act on stealthily
    usage From its earliest appearance in print in the late 19th century as
    a dialectal and probably uneducated form, the past and past participle
    snuck has risen to the status of standard and to approximate equality
    with sneaked. Indications are that it is continuing to grow in
    frequency. It is most common in the U.S. and Canada, but has also been
    spotted in British and Australian English.

    So I'm sticking with snuck, whenever I post to Usenet forums...

    What's formal about a mouse being in my garage? It wasn't wearing a
    little mouse dinner jacket and bow tie.

    And UKRM hardly demands formality.

    :eek:)

    And lo, no mouse poop, and no mouse!

    It must have been passing through.

  12. Kill it. Go to Homebase or similar and buy some poison. Otherwise steal
    a neighbour's cat and lock it in the garage with the mouse.
    As someone else said you see the shit pellets they leave everywhere.
    Make sure you get rid of it - decaying rodents are not a desirable
    addition to one's property. DAMHIKIJD, OK!

    <snip more pointless shite?

    Ginge, try buying some mouse poison or putting a trap down. Your local
    hardware shop will help. YKIMS.

    I really don't think it's in there any more, but I did give the rodent
    some consideration on my return. Its quite likely it'd have come into
    contact with the bowl of brake fluid under the SZR so it's f*cked by
    now. :)

    Buy ,borrow,beg or steal a handfull of raisins.

    Go to a garden centre with your Stanley knife and when no-one is
    looking.....take a slither of Bamboo from the supporting pole.

    When you`re at home, slice the Bamboo into thin strips(hairs in the trade;-)
    and push one each through a raisin.

    Scatter them in the garage.

    This is quite ZEN/Buddist friendly as the victim dos`nt choke to death.
    It finds a corner and chokes,trying to get the raisin out,and a
    cat/hawk/pleisiosaur comes along and kills the fucker.

    Originally used for pheasants/game-birds, same idea, but you use the big
    stick to whack them with;-)
