I am terrified of mice cant even stand the dead ones when I catch one in a trap my dil comes and gets they live upstairs with 6 cats but I still get mice I kill her spiders so I guess it is an even trade

Peanut butter on a trap!

My thought as well......like pumping basement water out into the yard....

give him all the stash he wants. It's probably one of my gypsy cousins and that's what he's there for.
I don't let him know where I live, lol. ;)
I have 3 cats outside and they seem to do a great job of keeping the cousins and critters away.
Wouldn't want to be without one again. good luck with your problem. They are not fun when not invited.

we've been getting them suckers also..my husbands task,he uses a raisen

Thank goodness, I actually have 2 mousers who masquerade as lazy house cats mostly. They do not eat the mice but they do kill them so I'm happy with many of their (cats) other antics. It is getting colder so yes the danged things are coming in. I do like the shotgun approach thinking but worry about damaging the computer - today I like the computer.

Two rat terriers. Mice don't last long in our house - or, for that matter, anywhere around our house. :)

there are things you can plug into any outlet that makes a noise the mice do not like I hear they work .I think you can find them just about any store like walmart or tractor supply but I am not sure

Load a trap with a bit of peanut butter, then top it off with a marshmallow. Works every time!

Seems like sticky traps catch me more than mice. I have found that rubber cement thinner works very well to get the "glue" from glue traps off your shoes, out of fabric, off of socks and knitted house shoes, etc.

My dad used a live trap to get squirrels and took them to the park to play. I understand that, now, there are laws about releasing live animals. If you live in the city, you have to think of that, I guess.

Niizh - when we have really big mice here we call them something else - it has 3 letters - hehehe
