We had a really bad smell coming from my 3 level big red tool box on wheels a few months ago..... narrowed it down to the bottom drawer where I store delicate things like air oilers/dryer, pressure gauges, paint gun filters
and my 3M paint mask.

Well I found a nest of small mice..... who had obviously been abandonned after mother became a meal to the cats..... they had turned to jelly and maggots...... and they had nested in the inside cup of my mask...... yeck!!

So I bought a new one......geez!!!

That sounds perfectly vile Bob, glad you didnt post any photo's..

John, a lot of the mouse & rat baits on the market contain Warfarin which thins the blood to an extent that the animal goes into Cardiac arrest and suffers from death (dreadful way to die, death).

The down side is their body temp drops and they seek out warm places to die, then of course, decompose.

So when you nail em you'll end up finding them behind the beer fridge near that nice warm motor for example.

So the simple answer is to, as Rich suggested, aquire one of our brown snakes and watch him go!! (from a safe distance....)
