I have a mouse in my house that seems to be to smart for me LOL I have set up 4 traps and every single one of them it seems to get the peanut butter off of it without setting the trap off. I have even tried putting just a dab of peanut butter on it and it still gets it off. I hope someone can help me I really really hate these things. There so gross!!

I had mice in an apartment I once lived in and the traps that worked for us were the glue traps and the humane mouse traps (the metal box traps.) The humane mouse traps worked great because they had to get into the box before they reached the food and by that time it's too late for them, they are trapped.

eliminate any 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. 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. small holes just plain old glue. sometimes strong scents such as cayenne pepper, moth balls, or peppermint extract will work because they hate the smell. just sprinkle them thruout the house.

We successfully got rid of rats and mice, not by killing them, but simply by spreading naptholene flakes around where they hang out ... naptholene is what mothballs are made from. Rats and mice really hate the smell, and can't stand hanging around them!
Just be careful that you don't put the naptholene anywhere that your pets or children can get to - it's very bad for them too.

all you can do is lay out as many glue traps as possible. they are annoying. follow the corners and where ever you little black "mouse pellets" place a glue trap there.
also, try to chase it so that it scurries into a glue trap. Because mice are pretty strong (because of how quick they are), it is not a bad idea to place a paper weight on the glue trap.

Buy Paris Hilton's CD. Her singing should scare the mouse out of your house

Get the large non-toxic glue traps and put bait in the middle.

You dont need to kill them. Buy a live trap and let it go far away from your house.
