Cats or Mice

Last year, as a first time allotment plotter, I was plagued by a cat doing doos on our new veg beds; so I sprayed "Get-off" and the cat got off. And I was quite pleased when I discovered that a mouse had stolen a few peas and stashed them in the middle of a potato patch, where they duly grew. I didn't mind this and called him our friendly Farmer Mouse.

  But now my wife spotted a troupe of field mice playing around in our comfrey patch and was terrified - don't ask me why. But now she is talking to bring back the cat to eat the mice :!:
Or worse still, mouse traps armed with cheese.
From all your allotment experience, can you tell me is there really any danger from these little mice and what would you do if you found a family in your comfrey patch

You'll never get rid of mice!  But there is always somebody's cat about doing the midnight patrol!!

Try soaking your peas in meths ... that will put them off!!  

mice are vermin, poison, traps and the spade for hand to hand combat.kill as many as u can or else there will be `undreds of em.same applies to rats and squirrels. :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

rats and mice have no sphincter muscle so they are constantly urinating and pooing....is that what u want on your plants?
