Rabbit netting http://tinyurl.com/s8768 may help, but forget about the
field mice as they do no one any harm and are to be encouraged as their
natural habitats are being gradually decimated.

Your choice of the word poison is unfortunate as I doubt that you would
resort to that course of action regarding the harmless fieldmouse.

Emrys Davies.

Mouse traps.

The type that catch them alive to allow you to let them go in someone else's
back garden about 10 miles away

Another not very bright idea. The knawing field mice in all probability
have left young ones in a nest and if you drop the parent mouse ten
miles away the young ones will be left to starve.
