[QUOTE="Star*, post: 166688, member: 4964"] Well, You know I have rats as pets. And I have raised mice. Everyone thinks they are just dumb, but they really are not. Depending on the size of the mice you have a few options. If you've ever seen a rat or field mouse die from injesting Decon? You won't do it again. Most places sell these little round or square "live" traps. The mouse goes in, steps on the spring, the door shuts and you basically have a tupperware type container with a mouse in it. Then you can take the container and drive somewhere and let them go - more than a mile away. OR kill them. Mouse traps are good, but they have to be in the running line of the rodent. Rodents stay close to walls, and usually another good place is where a cabinet, floor and wall meet. OR in the back of a cabinet -look where droppings are. If they are in the kitchen I feel for you because they pee on EVERYTHING....so dont' cook unless you've washed out your stuff. Then dry and put up high - don't put it back in the cabinet until the problem is gone - but once the cabinet is cleaned out - DO put a trap close to the wall - and they don't like cheese so much - But WM sells these treats called Yogis -yogurt drops blueberry flavored and they LOVE those. Bad thing about any bait - they can figure out how to spring the trap and get the treat. So we used Pnut butter. It won't move off the trigger - and while they take the extra time to get a mouthfull? Snap! Mice tend to be active most at Dusk also - but check your traps often. You need to get a handle on this ASAP mice mature for mating at about 3 weeks old and can have litters as large as 13 than can also have sex at 3 weeks old. You do the math. Hugs Star Had to laugh at "THE" Bruce being repulsed by eating mice - so beneath him. [/QUOTE]
