Hello All,
I've read recently, humane rodent traps have been used instead of the more
traditional bait traps because the users didn't want rodents eating the baits
and then dying in the building. We're currently using bait traps and although
I'm not aware of any finds of decomposing mice, we do
Thanks very much for all your suggestions regarding rodent control, we're
currently in the process of reviewing our procedures in relation to IPM and
this additional information will certainly be useful.
Thanks again
Helen

That’s great to hear Yoshiko, I hate discovering these in our traps. I found
sometimes, when they’ve been in the trap a while, they need time to recover so
I have a small container that I place the gecko in, with a little water, until
it’s gathered enough strength to be released, though yours so
I recently came across an unmounted herbarium specimen with same pattern of
burrowing/feeding on the paper enclosing the specimen. Although it appears the
infestation had not been active for decades, I did find frass and cigarette
beetles with the specimen. The specimen was placed in the freezer
It's a centipede, they eat invertebrates so not a bad thing to have around,
except they're venomous and can give you a painful bite!
