I do you a peppermint spray Buster as it is good against mice apparently I also add is use in the hot weather against flys etc
To be honest I need to do it now to stop any nice thinking of coming out of the cold

Lol, you've developed an e.stutter Neil.
Thank you all, nice to have a few options.
It seems like putting a picture of a pigeon on a bucket gives you license to rip people off.
That's the truth, Dave.
Pink mineral powder, which is really mainly calcium powder with some iron and vitamin/ minerals added, in a small bucket with a picture of a pigeon on it, hell of a price :o

Last bag of pink I purchased was around £25 that was maybe 4 or 5 years ago could be longer but expensive as you say

Never worked against them here as we are over run with them, i even use cotton wool balls soaked in it and throw under all sheds, waste of time and money I think, I grow mint, lavender and eucalyptus around lofts still they come

Yes got bait in all the time and rat blocks outside
I moved next doors cat on last year as it was hanging off my aviary then getting up on top my loft while I was out training etc but I ended up over run with rats by the side of the stock loft
I was doing about £25 every 2 weeks on blocks even though they were on a wire they were clearing them out for weeks on end
I got neighbours horses directly behind and about 30 chickens / ducks / geese 10 yards away in a converted stable with another neighbour so that’s not ideal
I had success with baking powder at one time but last winter it never worked for me
