A the title says, I have a mouse (or mice) in the house. Anyone know of a good remedy to rid my house of them. I have a dog and a 7 week-old son, so poison is mostly out of the question, unless I can place it in a controlled area. I'm guessing mouse traps with peanut butter in a place where the dog can't get to. Any other suggestionsor better bait on the traps? Thanks in advance.

 

get a cat!!!!!

 

Cats almost as bad as having Rats and mice

5 gallon bucket, empty coffee can, wooden dowel and a wooden plank. Drill opposing holes top of bucket and ends of coffee can. Place dowel through bucket and coffee can making a rollerat the top of the bucket. Cover can with peanut butter. Place plank as a ramp to get to rim of bucket. Fill bucket with 4 inches or so of water. Mice will climb plank, try to get at peanut butter, fall in bucket and drown. No harm to child or dog

 

Pest control companies have commercial grade poison.
It can be placed out of reach of animals/kids.
The important thing is find how they get in or it will be an ongoing battle.

You have to discover the trail, if you know what I mean.

Stuff steel wool around the kitchen sink pipe cut-outs.
Any kitchen cabinets may have gaps that need to be plugged.
An undercounter dishwasher is also a prime suspect.

p.s. the pronunciation is 'mice'.

 

You definitely need to find out where they are coming in and block that access. If you don't, a new one will replace any one that you kill. I've used sticky traps in the past, they work great.

 

You might be better off with a maid.

 

I have a 100% mouse free method that works.

But i'm sure most will think i am crazy.

 

Sticky traps have my vote. We have caught 4 this year at work. If you poison them, they will die where you can't find them. The little dead critters can really stink!

 

x2

No we wont, promise

 

Catch a mouse in a trap,take dead mouse and hang it on a clothes line outside. Two or three works the best,you may laugh but his is a old method i found.I've use this on my own house and i live in the middle of farm land,i have no more mice in the house.
After six months of hanging on the line(mice jerky) i took them down and sure enough within two weeks i had mice in the house.
Yes you will get some odd looks from people but who cares, it works.

 

Your crazy

So is it suppose to be a warning to other mice that they're fate is sealed if they dare venture or what?

 

And it's good to keep burglars away also...........would you rob a house if the homeowner does this to mice?

 

Mouse traps. Peanut butter covered dog food works great as bait.

 

That would be like the holy grail for dogs

 

That's about it..
