Where do mice usually hide?

Question

We have a mouse in our house and we don't know where it is. We saw that he was in our kitchen cabinet by the trash, obviously looking for food, Where could he have headed now? My biggest concern is that he's away from where I'll be and in my bedroom.

Answer 1

during the day your mouse will be sleeping in a tiny dark corner of somewhere. a night he will be on the hunt for food. set some fresh traps at every night till you catch him live traps work better snap traps don't always snap. or you can try some decon. if you don't have any food in the bed rooms he probably won't be too interested in walking across you while you sleep.

Answer 2

I use an electric mouse/rat repeller by black and decker. It really works better than a trap since it just causes the rodent to run away from your house. It doesn't work through the walls though.
I have used sticky pad type traps. I like these better as any other animal won't accidentally get it's paw snapped. But they are really sticky so what gets on them is on them for good. They are rather inhumane though how the poor creature is just stuck there dieing.
Next year plug in the electric repellers in early fall and you probably won't have mice again. That's what I do.

Answer 3

They can squeeze into the smallest space you can imagine. They hide in the day and come out at night. He might have found a very very small space to get into the kitchen cabinet to wait until it gets dark, come out and try to find food in the kitchen. I say
a peanutbutter trap is the best too.

Mice usually hide in small openings or cracks between corners.They even sometimes hide between furniture or under couches and beds.They also can hide under: chairs, dollhouses,dirty cloths, in a bag, in a droor, shoe, a fridge, cabinet, messy closet and the worst place of all in your food.If you want to get rid of the pesty mouse I would suggest you & your family split up in your house looking for any or the things I menchened in my letter.


GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

Mice can be everywhere, they might be in your bedroom, but they will generally stay in the closet and stay close to your walls when traveling to and fro. Their nests are more than likely in your attic. If you want to kill them, go to a farm store and get rat bait cubes and throw them all around in your attic. If you don't have small children or pets in the house I would put one in the corner of each closet. I took over a house once that was infested with mice. I did this and in less than 2 weeks I never saw another. Good luck.

Anywhere away from the CAT!

USE a common Mouse Trap = BAITED WITH PEANUT BUTTER! It works Every Time!

Of course if you don't catch him or her soon..... You may have a Whole Colony living in your House!
