Answer 1

well,mice can produce alot of babies! stick with the glue traps,and put them everywhere you can.put steel wool in the holes,every hole you can find,they hate that,and don't like to chew thru it.Your gonna have to catch the adults of course to stop the reproduction,and once you do,,be prepared to have dead babies smelling up your walls.
I put the glue traps every nite in front of my doors,behind and under everything.They tend to chew holes behind and in cabinets,in corners,next to inner walls,cause that is where they live,inside your walls.Attics and basements,,,They get in your pantry at nite,,,they come in right under your doors,inside and out..But I cleaned mine completely out and put glue traps in there.Keep your grains,cereals,snack foods,in glass containers,or something they cannot eat thru..I had my dogfood in a strong rubbermaid container with a lid,,they chewed thru it.Had to convert to metal garbage can with lid.
just keep up the fight and catch them that's all I did,and finally got rid of them..my neighbor puts out poison,,but they don't die in his yard,they come to mine.
and the pest control people have some liquid they put in my house once..and he said they drink it and go outside to get water,and die,,,I suspect it was antifreeze.But be careful pets of all kinds will drink anti-freeze.

I'm with jhnyblayze. Get a cat. When I bought my house I had no idea I had mice. I would hear noises, but never guessed that it was mice until I brought home a stray cat that I adopted. That cat caught mouse after mouse after mouse. I think eight in all. It was crazy, but now my house is mouse free. If you can't get a mouse then you can buy humane (no kill) traps. Just load them with a bit of cracker and peanut butter. They seem to love peanut butter. If you catch them then you can find some land or a wooded area to release them. If you have to kill them then just load the kill trap with peanut butter. Just a little, not much. mice seem to love peanut butter.
Good luck with your mouse problem.
