place moth balls at all vents where they can get in.farmers swear by mothballs for mice.read this week,in fact last night the sheets you put in to dry your clothes in the machine will keep them away too.

Wilkisons sells mothballs.

Find out how they got in, the mice got in with me where the wiring loom goes through the floor, they enlarged it slightly to 1/2" diameter.

Now stuffed all possile entrys with stanless steel pan scourers, also from Wilko`s, try chewing that stuff mickey.

The trouble with mice is if they really want to get in they will simply chew through the floor/wall, any point they want to.

Horrible little things and they make me feel sick and dirty!
