I am getting mice come into my living room during the night. I have a cat but it doesnt like going in the living room, I have bought those sonic devices and have set the traps but they seem to avoid them and the glue traps they eat what i put there for bait and leave their little paw prints in the glue. Anyone got any sensible ideas >>??

You need a female tortoiseshell cat, trained by its mum to hunt mouse. Ours was 8 weeks old when she caught her first, and had been in our house barely a day. Totally efficient.
Otherwise you will have mice.

Seriously, get a cat that will go into the living room. I can't believe they would even want to live there knowing there is a cat aywhere near there! Maybe the sonic thing is keeping the cat out? Cat is the best answer I can give, I had this problem to a tee, but with big rats, and bringing a cat into the picture stopped it cold.

The humane traps do no longer artwork and the extremely-sonic gizmos are questionable. a million. Seal all of the holes maximum advantageous into the domicile. i take advantage of metallic wool (ironmongery shop) that I squeeze right into a hollow then I anchor it in place with an increasing foam insulation (additionally ironmongery shop. 2. do away with all food from being attainable interior the domicile and bypass away a dish of food outdoors someplace. 3. After each week or so (whilst they get jused to it), set some snap traps obtainable close to the food dish. do away with carcases on an common basis. If that doesn't artwork, i will deliver over a number of my ex-spouse's cooking. bypass away it out on the counter and freshen up the ineffective mice in the morning.

I tried lots of humane ways initially, then got naffed off with losing sleep. The mice lasted literally ten minutes with my cat, and it was all over. If your cat hasn't got a clue, try cutting down on the food rations. Animals that hunt naturally, do so when they are hungry. Does your cat get fed on lasagne like Garfield? Also mice don't like cheese, believe it or not. Dried fruit is far more their thing.

Charge a higher rent that should do it
Failing that "Racumin" if you can get it but make sure the cat can't get it or the dead mice or the cat will suffer that same fate

Mouse poison has always worked well for me, but if you have animals that might eat the dead mice it is not a good idea.
