Lots of blind mice??

Question

I have never had a problem with mice before. Now I have them everywhere in my house! I was in bed tonite and one ran out of my clothes closet! Where are they coming from?? Has anyone tried the sticky paper? DECON? I don't like the thought of mouse traps cuz I don't want to see a dead mouse on it... gross! HELP!!!

Answer 1

There are mouse traps out there where you dont have to see the mouse. There's a red tab that pops up when a mouse is in the round disk thingy and then you just pick it up and dispose of the whole thing. You never see the mouse.

Answer 2

No I'm with you dead mice are not nice. We have a humane mouse trap but if you have a lot of mice that won't be effective. It's OK to catch one or two, but you have to take them about 5 miles from your house or they will come back (apparently). You may have no option but to call an exterminator.

Answer 3

I'd go with mouse traps; Decon works, but if a mouse dies somewhere in your house that's not accessible, it will REEK until it rots away completely - not a pleasant odor. A dead but fresh mouse is much better to have to remove than one that's rotting. If you go with mouse traps, I suggest baiting them with peanut butter; I had a few than went after my African violets a few years back (just the blossoms, not the leaves - go figure), and it worked like a charm.

Answer 4

use rat poison

It doesn't kill the rat/mouse it just puts it into a drunk like state
so all you have to do is get some one to smell the rat out (a neighbours dog would do) then get the mouse who is in a coma out of the house but get it out before 5days or it dies

Answer 5

Get a cat. I had one that caught mice; she would pile the heads up on the fireplace, so you won't have to worry about colecting mice from different parts of your house.

Answer 6

i see the problem with the trap but if you use poison they tend to hide, so what is better to see it or smell it a week later, i would suggest a cat or an exterminator.
