mrvmaxMouse * Update* brilliant rodent * one down
Ultrasonic did not work for small rats I had outside. Saw them on my game cam right near them. I used the electronic traps (that shock them) and rat poison (the type that does not harm other animals) to rid my back yard of them.

bendable* 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.

mark60The forum turned me onto electronic traps and they've been working great in my garage.

trapper189I 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.

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

But that's only 3 1/2- 4 months out out of the year.
For some reason the day care kids don't bother me in the least, six or 8 indians on the warpath between 8:00 and 6:00 .
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!

GeorgeairI 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.
Mouse enters, eats and gets trapped, throw away the entire box, and start over. Billy

kkinaHow'd you nail the dirty little rodent?
December 21, 2024, 07:57 PM
41I 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.

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.
