Tomorrow will be one week since I have seen a mouse in my house. My husband has set 12 traps up and put out a box of orfin. We have also sealed up any places where we think it could of got in. My husband thinks it's gone, but we have small children and I'm nervous about letting them play down there again. Also there has been no new mouse droppings. I just want to have proof that the mose is dead!

Don't worry about it, it was probably just passing through. Mice don't normally live indoors during the warmer months. But if it does return, bait your traps with peanut butter. It gets them every time.

With children around I would just set traps. We have lots of mice here in the country. They got in through a small hole once and when we found the hole we put a trap by it and we had seven mice within two days. You have to really squish the cheese on so that they have to work at it and the trap will go off.

You would find the body if a trap was triggered but in the case of the poison bait not necessarily so . The product contains a anticoagulant which takes time to work ,and the rodent will seek cover to curl up and die . If you're lucky it will die outside but if it dies in a crawl space you'll soon smell it and then will have to retrieve it or the smell will become unbearable . Traps alone are best indoors, and poisons are best used outside for that reason.

I would just set up traps not poison. If the mouse eats the poison and dyes inside your wall it will stink your place up! They also sell electronic traps that work well. The little light lights up when you caught a mouse. Usually mice dont live inside houses in the summer only in winter. Rember mice are blind and only travel 15ft from their home to find food. They rely on smell to find their food and to get back home.

Glue traps work the best! Try one of those and keep things away from the mouse's entrance or what not. They are really attracted to the glue traps. It catches other things too!

If you don't see the mouse or any evidence, it's probably gone or dead. I've used both Victor and glue traps, both worked. I used peanut butter as the bait.
