The other day I spilled some cereal on my way out to work, and when I came home, all I saw was mice all over. I threw cereal at them to scare them away, but more and more came out. So, I kept throwing cereal, and even more came out after that. Now my house is full of mice. Whats going on with that?

Ummm. They are eating the cereal! You are throwing them food!

Step 1. Leave a note for the guy that eats ur peanut butter to reset the traps
Step 2. Park ur car covered with tomatos and eggs nearer the house and that attracts the mice away
Step 3. When u see the mice the traps caught, don't check how fresh they are
Step 4. mix dry cement powder with the cereal. if u poison the mice, they will stink when they die under the house, but with cement, they turn into little statues

The stupidity of the human race never seems to amaze me. Try cleaning up the cereal and not throwing any more. DUH!
Call an exterminator at this point. Mice leave dropping behind, which is now going to have an effect on your health.

This may sound silly but believe it or not mice have a sweet tooth. I have killed mice witha normal nouse trap by putting an m&m on it with a little bit of peanut butter on it to stick it. I have also caught them with a lil piece of chocolate. Word to the wise though. stop feeding them. That will help a lot too.What will also help too is that they obviously like the cereal you are giving them. Take A PIECE and put it on the trap with a little bit of peanut butter to hold it. Mice be gone. good luck

Call an exterminator and set mouse traps. The best bait for the traps is peanut butter. Make sure you rub it in so they will not be able to just lick it off. or it won't do any good. I have a cat. She is a good exterminator but we never had mice. We have spiders that come in sometimes and she eats them. She loves flies too but I taught her to eat bugs when she was a kitten. Good luck with your mice problem. I wouldn't want to be in your situation.

For god's sake, stop throwing cereal at them, you're playing right into their hands. Go get some Brussels sprouts and throw at them. Brussels sprouts are so disgusting nothing will eat them and the mice will go away.

That was an idiot thing to do!! You better call pest control so they can get rid of those mice. They were hungry and you kept feeding them cereal.

By throwing cereal at them you were providing them with more food so encouraging them! You need some form of pest control. Ring environmental health for advice.

You probaly had mice long before you dropped cereal otherwise there wouldn't be so many.Put mouse traps down everywhere.

get mice traps and call an exterminator. Get 4 or 5 cats . if you like cats and hate mice they will catch and kill the mice for you at night
