the spring trap worked but i have only caught one - i have traps - glue traps - contraptions - am using peanut butter - i place them one inche from the wall.
after i caught one action slowed down - now i see more activity but unable to catch them - i even heated up the peanut butter to make it more attractive.
the one i caught was almost big enough to be a rat - but if i had rats they would at least spring the traps - how long does it take?

Mice like to use their whiskers to guide them along the wall. Move your trap right next to the wall instead of an inch away with the trap side against the wall. That way if they try to crawl over and ignore the bait, the trap will still spring.
Put the glue traps into 90 degree corners right against the wall.
Good luck!

I use to occassionaly catch mice with traps. Now I have an indoor cat and 2 outdoor cats. I haven't seen any signs of mice in almost 2 years now. It only took about 2 or three months for the mice to disappear completely.
