For those of you who don't like mousetraps, there is a humane trap called "mice cube". I have tried it, and it works... though my cats are more efficient.

I am sorry you are having a mouse problem!! I have three cats that chase anything that moves, wanna borrow them? I really hope you can find a solution and get rid of them.

This is the time of year mice are looking to find shelter for the winter. I've found chocolate to be the best bait with peanut butter second. LOL the grand prize is Peanut Butter Cup candy. Snap traps are the most humane. Clean up all food/pet food and set traps in dark places, against walls, etc. The little guys can get in 1/4 inch spaces so it is very hard to fill all the entries.

Let those upstairs cat down by you to get some exercise and****render viddles****.

I have never heard of the 5 gallon bucket idea until tonight. DH returned home form his civil war re-enactment at Antietam, MD and told me about it. Then I find it on here. WOW! The other week one of those critters was on my computer desk twice. I moved the tower slightly and the next time that mouse ran along the tower he ran out of space. Needless to say when he ran off the edge, I had the trash can waiting for him to jump into. It was nice of it to acomodate me that way. Now where did I put that bucket.
