What is the best way to catch or kill mice in your house?

Answer 1

get a cat.

Answer 2

Wood-based snap traps are inexpensive and work well. Put a sheet of newspaper under the trap and place them anywhere you think mice are living. Be careful to keep traps out of the reach of children and pets! Setting traps in pairs works best. Set traps at right angles to the wall, with the trigger end touching the wall. Put them about 6 to 10 feet apart, since mice tend to travel very short distances. Mice tend not to cross large open spaces.
Poisoned baits that contain anticoagulants, such as Warfarin, Pival and chlorophacinone, are the most effective, least toxic mouse poisons for home use. Continuous feedings for at least six to ten days are needed. First, read all label instructions completely, and follow them carefully. Watch out for children and pets! Make sure the baits are clearly marked and place them in a secluded and secure area that is attractive to mice -- such as in cabinets, behind appliances, under boards, boxes, pipes or cans -- and where they are also protected from rain and snow. Remove baits when all mouse activity stops or after one month of use, whichever comes first. Follow label directions when disposing of all poisons!

I have always used the wooden traps to get rid of mice. I live in the country and when the hay fields get mowed they some times get into the house. Cheese or peanut butter on the traps work best

Answer 3

Set up traps that are like seeds that the mice will eat , but it's actually poison. You may find them at your local hardwear store. To keep it out of a child's reach put it behind a narrow passage that only the mouse can fit through, and not your childs arm.

Answer 4

cheap ol snap traps and generic peanut butter.
place it along the wall or countertop backspash wherever you see traces.

i tried the live traps and they didn't work.
i tried poison and they get in the wall or under the crawl and die stinking up the place.
i tried the glue pads and somehow they manage to get off.

when i switched to snap traps i catch it with-in a day maybe 2 days.

fall is when i might get one. i've caught it everytime i've had one sneak in by using the snap trap.

good luck!

Answer 5

Live traps. You'll never make a dent in the mouse population by killing them, so you might as well relocate them to a field somewhere. Don't kill 'em. They're just trying to make a livin' too. ;-)
