Bait with peanut butter. Usually you won’t even have to rebait.

THIS trap, NOT “similar” ones.

Nothing beats these Tomcat Press-N-Set traps.

But remember if “you feed ‘em, you breed ‘em”, you have to get rid of their food source and seal up the entry point to the house.

[right way right]

Yeah, that sounds good, they are so tacky.

Snakes are great for keeping the rodent population down but I don't think I would want them in my house.

My Antique shop had mice. It is an old building on pier and beam. Impossible to trap them all. A couple of stray cats decided to live under the house. No mice since. I reward them well with food, petting, and veterinary care.

@ 113 - okay, that’s funny. Caused an honest grin.

Well, I have thought about my 12 gauge Mossberg, but I believe their are ordinances in the community I live - LOL!

we get them about 3x a year....they get in thru the basement somehow.....pretty easy to catch but I hate them...

our food pantry is down in the basement which is why everything is in a glass jar with a metal lid or heavy duty 5 gallon buckets....even upstairs here, we try not to have anything out on the counter and use lots of containers.

[cherry]

can you recommend the name/brand?

[Golden Eagle]

I've never had to use one, but one of those bucket traps looks like it would work well.

[week 71]

Yeah - they are eating my dog’s food - I’ve seen where they have taken it to and left some around.

Hot glue seeds, dog food, chicken scratch to the trap. Works every time!

does the high frequency bother dogs?

[Mears]

Huh ? I hope you are kidding .

I was told to fill a 5 gallon bucket at least half way or more, float corn kernels on top, and have board leading up to the rim ..the mice go in, indulge and drown..

[ansel12]

I was a little amazed at how thorough that mouse was, he checked out every container that he could get into rather than find a few goodies that he would settle on and keep returning to.

The one I have is ‘defender pro’. This is how it was listed on my Amazon orders. “ Ultrasonic Pest Repeller, Pest Control Electronic Plug in Repellent Indoor for Flea, Insects, Mosquitoes, Mice, Spiders, Ants, Rats, Roaches, Bugs, Non-Toxic, Humans&Pets Safe 4 Pack
Brand: Defender Pro”

But there are many others. I bought this one back in 2020. Been working since then.

“...our own CDC uses mice...”

So does Wuhan. Or they may be the same.
