Need Mouse Help!

Message 6958 of 14034

We are being harrassed by mice. They are smart mice. They don't get caught in traps. They don't eat poison, they ARE however eating a lot of other things in our house. Now everything in my entire pantry is in glass, metal, or heavy-duty plastic. Would love to hear anyone's expertise. I feel like we're in the movie "Mouse Hunt", "Mouse Trap"....whatever it was! Thanks in advance

Bait blocks, they are little blocks of poison, living out here in a trailer I just threw them under the house where dog and cat can't get them and had no mouse problems, also worked out in the barn too

Now that you have all your food boxed up and safe, they should go for the food in the traps. Be sure to face the trap towards the wall. Mice like to run along walls, not out in the middle of pantries or closets.

Peanut butter on the traps, mice can't resist it.

Thanks for the ideas - sorry nuggie, these guys resist p-nut butter. I'm tellin' ya - they are devious little goobers.

When ever they plowed the fields behind my house, I'd get mice in. The peanut butter worked on traps, but still had problems every year... Soooooo, I got fed up with it and put expanding foam that they use around pipes, etc. and filled ever hole thru the floor i could find. Under the sink and around gas lines. My last one was water lines...Now NO mice at all!
