How this came about is quite "simples" really - recently we seem to have acquired mice in our loft. We know this from the Dad's Army drill maneuvers each night which would wake the dead, as well as the obvious residual traces which confirm the source of the noises. So time to wage war, and hence the need for a specialist advisor. I immediately offered my services and, although I am absolutely useless at climbing ladders, I felt I could contribute on a consultative basis.
As we are a very animal friendly family (except I admit not having a great regard for cats or Tommy the Yorkie who parades up and down our road), I recommended that we utilise humane traps and dispose of any detainees in the vineyards on one of our walks. It was essential that I check the suitability of the trap before placement, making sure my nose did not get caught during the test firing.
No results as of yet but I will keep you all advised of any progress. In the meantime we will all wear earplugs to sleep - well, not me - I just put my head under my duvet.

You need to bait the trap with chocolate. Make sure your Dad uses milk chocolate in case you decide to sample the bait - plain choccie is very bad for mutts
