Hi Nfcb
All I can say is, your mice must be much more industrious than the ones here! But as William says, almost impossible to get rid of them. But, I have found that if the food is put out for hogs for a certain length of time each night, they soon learn to get there between those times. So I think, if the hogs were finding the bowl empty, they would eventually turn up earlier. Alternatively, When you had the camera, did you notice what time the hogs arrived? You may be able to work it out so that you put the food out just before and keep an eye on it until the hog arrives so that you can scare the mouse/mice away.
Good luck!
And, by the way, Penny, none of the many cats which visit my garden at night ever managed to have any impact on any rats or mice that have visited at various times. When they were there the cats were mysteriously absent! The rodents must have radar or something!
