Dear All. My mice problem was solved a few years ago by planting bulbs wire netting or in plastic boxes Most "wire netted pots" and boxes are open at the top. Until this season a intelligent strain discovered that entry from above is possible. Before I discovered 2 boxes of Moraea polystachya were completely wiped out. Then I put ordinary mice bait (decorticated aots) in all the boxes to redirect their appetite. Since a month no vertical digging has been observed and I assume that this generation has disappeared. Covering the pots and plants with wire netting creates numerous practical problems. Remains to be seen.
