I don't have any pets or children. I have noticed a mouse running around at night. I took a good look around and found some droppings (I think). I've never had this problem before. I want to nip this in the bud before winter sets in and they come inside. I set a trap with peanut butter and caught one last night, however I know that there are probably more. If I set out poison, how can I find the bodies? Will they die immediately, or do they drag the poison back to their nest? Will they spread the poison to the rest of the mice in the nest? What are the favorite hiding places? What is the most inexpensive and efficient ways to get rid of them?
I'm not interested in getting a cat.
Any suggestions??

I just put them in the ground at the beginning of the season, and they have not produced any flowers either. Where I am located, there has certainly been enough rain. Thanks for any input!

I've got a lamp, and the switch broke. I'm trying to install a new switch. I understand the installation process, but I have to keep things straight between the black (hot) wires and white wires. However, on the lightbulb end, I have two black wires, one of which has white letters. On the power source end, I have only yellow/translucent wires, and one has black letters. Does anybody know for sure which is which?

Do the black letters on a yellow wire mean it's black? Do white letters on a black wire mean it's white? Or do letters, in general, indicate one color or the other?

Anyone have any experience with using glass mosaic tile as the kitchen counter material (not just as the backsplash)? This would be for a lightly used area of my kitchen counter by the sink - not the primary work area. Would love to hear any pros and cons. Thanks!

What I already know they like blue and red not so much green or yellow supose thats why they look green yellow they are refledting not absorbing. I think there are newer technologies that make better 12 volt dc to good plant light out there and the grow light manufacturers are laging behind. I need to know how to find out what aprt of the spectrum different new lights put out and how that matches what plants like when and no I'm not growen pot and yeah I am60 and bush,s policy's make bein poor hard, if you lived on a fixed income like disabled vets do you'd know that I need a reference or the right search words or an aggie person to match new tech with plant needs. thanks for previous helps

I just moved to a second floor of a triple decker, and the apartment was just remodeled--the landlord who purchased the house had a wall put in the middle of the floor, thus dividing the floor into two apartments. I rented one of these apartments, and when other tenants moved into the second apartment, it turned out that the wall in between does not hold anything at all. I can hear every word that people are saying in the other side, even if they are talking quietly. When there is music, it is like I have music on in my apartment. I hear every small sound they make, and they can hear me, so I can't even talk on the phone. The landlord implied that it his not his business and does not want to deal with the situation. My question is--what are my options here, as the noise situation is absolutely unbearable. Did the landlord violate building codes by putting a simple interior wall without any insulation to divide separate apartments? Is it his responsibility to do something about it?

isn't mortgage insurance for if you die, the loan will be paid off? if so wouldn't life insurance do the same, so why is mortgage insurance needed. Must you have it or is it just a option?

Im trying to charge my new lawn mower. The charger that came with the mower is measured in ac amps. When I hooked it up, the needle jumped right to 10 amps (biggest number on the meter) after a while I checked the meter and the needle was pointing to 0 amps. I know the mowers battery doesn't come charged. Whats going on?
