* Update
Saw him in the kitchen then in the bed rm.

My apt. Looks like either a Merry Melody Cartoon from the nineteen fifties or a
Commercial for mouse traps.

The bastard ignores the hell out of the traps .

Might consider an alternative bait.

At least he's ceased the noisey gnawing , chewing.

Can't figure out what , in the name of Satan he is eating to stay alive.

The forum turned me onto electronic traps and they've been working great in my garage.

I thought he was eating the wiring?

If the wiring’s insulation is soy based, maybe soy nut butter would be more to the mouse’s liking.

On the flip side, if he's not eating the wiring yet, getting him hooked on soy butter might prompt him to start.

14 trains per day blowing their horns at three intersections are only thoroughly annoying when the windows are wide open.

So, yeah I hear things

I'd think the mice might want to move to a quieter neighborhood, maybe just open your windows?

BTW, I discovered a "solution" that worked for me. About two years ago I came across and removed a juvenile black snake from our laundry room. Before that, we had no mice or crickets in the house, afterwards, we are getting periodic infestations of both. Come back little wiggler!

I don't understand. Do you own the apartment or just trying to eradicate an issue the owner won't address?

This works, I place the traps in shoe boxes with holes cut on the bottom in both ends.
I place the traps along the baseboards as they mostly travel there.

Be careful with the cat to be a "mouser"... It might become friends with the little intruder and end up being bunk mates...... drill sgt.

I have some of the metal traps that seem to have a stronger spring. I found one mouse laying beside the trap so the spring must have hit him in the head. I have already caught six or more.

Once one enters, the others will follow the scent trail. I use a small Havahart trap in the shed and once the trap catches one, you don't have to bait it.

" I get by with a little help from my friends "

Took your suggestion and got him with a sticky pad.

He had eaten three spring traps clean of peanut butter.

Btw,
Tried to free him into the field out back,
But that's not an option ,
Once they are in the glue, that's it that's all.
They are done for. Period.

Will wait a week to see if more are around.

Thanks to those choosing to contribute.
