Aussie Finch Forum

well ive just been out at the aviaries when i saw a mouse running along the roof so quickly got in the aviary and tried killing the mouse between the wire nd the roof but missed he then dropped down to the bushes so whacked him out of them and then he fell on the floor nd he quickly ran of but i was quick enough to give him another quick whack got him but only his back legs so he ran off again nd there was a terracota bowl on the floor that he went to hide behin so i gave another whack got the mouse aswell as the bowl OUCh just say mouse 1 chris 0 but now have a dead mosue + sore hand would rather a sore hand than a extra mouse running around

just thought id let use know lol never play with mice around terracota bowls lol

Big ouch.....so, does this mean the peppermint oil isnt working? Or do you think that mouse was a holdout against the smell?

The mice hold against the smell, I spayed it everywhere, and useda whole bottle. Still lotsa mice! :s

So your place smells like a Minties factory now?

The health benefits of peppermint oil include its ability to treat indigestion, respiratory problems, headache, nausea, fever, stomach and bowel spasms and pain.


So not only does it NOT work against meeces it actually may in fact cure any little ailments they have and encourage them to stay .

the peppermint has worked in my shed i didnt use it in the aviaries as it need a enclosed area to work best soo no good in the aviaries. hand is still a bit sore nd bruies its like ive been in a fight LOL

Hey just had a thought ...you just had your shoulder op. should you be risking life and limb chasing meeces ?

Hows the shoulder anyway ?
