what can i do to get rid of mice?

Answer 1

go through your house and look for little holes in your walls and floors...then buy some "crack filling foam" I don't remember the name of it...your local hardware store employee will be able to direct you.....fill the holes and the cracks and put a few moth balls at that opening and set some traps (to get the ones already in the house) Not too many moth balls they are strongly scented. Check the traps daily..dispose the catch of the day...and things should be all clear soon......That' what my husband did at my girlfriends house for her.

Using one for my sox here and another for my important papers.

8. Call a local extermator and ask his ideas (other than extermination) .

9. Go to the library and get a book on how to get rid of mice. I'm sure there are lots of books like that in your library.

10. Plug up all holes (holes under the sink and other places) with large pads of BRILLO OR SOS. The mice won't be able to chew through this material. The more Brillo the better.

11. Never ever get an apartment or a house that is over a store. Stores generally have mice and sometimes rats. So, stay away from houses or apartments that are over or near the stores and or construction areas.

12. ASK for help. Ask everyone you know what their idea is of how to get rid of mice.

13. Have a contest here and say the winner gets a half hour free painting instruction or free drawing instruction or free book. Lots of people love to enter contests. So, Have a peaceful mice-free day and night.


So, have a peaceful, mice-free day today.

Answer 3

they are coming in for food. eliminate the food source. try and find out where they are coming in so u can block the hole. check under your sink for holes. they have hav- a-hart traps which catch them so u can take them down the street to the woods somewhere instead of killing them. u set one when u go to bed & check immediately the next morning. dont forget about them though because they will suffocate if left there too long. make sure theyre closed when not in use. if u just kill them which is mean others will still keep coming back. u have to find their entrance and block it. if its an odd shape steel wool will work. sometimes strong scents such as cayenne pepper or peppermint extract will work because they hate the smell.
