fach1werk20 Feb 2020 08:32Living at the edge of the fields is nice, but the pressure from mice is high.
In winter, all the cushions are stored in the garden shed. A metal-lined box inside protects the cushions of the seating set, which is good. But there are more and larger cushions, unfortunately also more expensive, which I hung on hooks in the shed. Mouse damage. I managed to repair one, but one was beyond saving. Supposedly, there are mouse-proof covers made of fiberglass fabric, but I couldn’t find any. Does anyone know something about this?
I can’t accommodate such a huge box (preferably metal), which would surely be helpful. For now, all cushions are kept inside the house, but they can’t stay there. A small bungalow, not basemented.
Best regards
Gabriele

fach1werk20 Feb 2020 09:30I have tried using traps, and they work to some extent, but with four mice I caught three different species, each with different preferences, so you need to keep an appealing bait inside them year-round.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a cat myself, but there are plenty of barn cats around here, and I always put out a cat bowl for them. Recently, one even came by specifically—I had just put out some trimmed pieces from a beef roast. She was carrying a half-alive mouse in her mouth, looked at me curiously, dropped the mouse at my feet, ate the Sunday roast, and then walked away. Still, she covers her face with her paws if she sneaks inside the house and encounters us.
