Submitted by alan h on Thu, 07/30/2020 - 11:40To get them to go away, you will need to trap them, and release them well away from your house - by "well" meaning 1 mile plus.
To discourage more coming, block off every entry to the house, even those at roof level remove climbing plants from the walls and remove overhanging branches.
Good luck - you'll need it

Good advice....But none of those are realistic options. Its an old mill, loads of climbing plants, holes and tunnels everwhere.
I know the romans liked them dipped in honey however as my wife is a life long vegi thats not an option either.

Humane traps baited with apple seems to be the answer.
Set the trap up high amongst there rafters.
Four caught and relocated in five days.

I am using live traps to then releae them into the wild.
I have tried the electronic devices before in England with mice etc and they didn't seem bothered one bit, just carried on.
Apple's as bait and I have now caught 5 so it's working.
Thanks
