I have so many mice in my house, that me and the cat gave up. now when I feed the cat i just feed the mice to.
More cats! I have three and they are death on mice. The good part is they are very clean and haven't been distrctive. Like the dogs, they sit by me and make good friends. My cats are himalayans. Very gentle.
For the first time in recent years..10-15...I had "evidence" of mice at the cottage. Fixed them damm little vermins by removing all the food. Might be making my last trip for the food/freezer today.
I sealed up some areas in the sill a couple years ago where they were getting in and that helped. My wife found a gadget that plugs in a wall outlet and evidently sends some kind of alien signal out that keeps them from wanting to come in. I've only trapped one since then. Found a mouse skeleton in the crawl yesterday. That was interesting,........a creepy mouse crypt crawl.
This the the first year I haven't heard a mouse scratching in the wall. They get up in the attic, then fall down one particular opening, and seem to die in there. Bet there are three or four skeletons behind that wall. I am wondering if the weather sealing and foam insulation has anything to do with it. Dennis, you need to market that wastebasket!!
