Mouse Infestation - Help!
We rent the top two floors of an old wood frame house. We moved in in August and, in the last month or so, have discovered that we have a mouse problem. Initially we thought it was just one mouse, but, after capturing 3 so far (and finding another dead one behind the fridge), we’re…
We rent the top two floors of an old wood frame house. We moved in in August and, in the last month or so, have discovered that we have a mouse problem. Initially we thought it was just one mouse, but, after capturing 3 so far (and finding another dead one behind the fridge), we’re realizing that we have a much bigger problem.
We’re taking all the appropriate steps — plugging up all holes with steel wool, putting down traps, having an exterminator come by — so I guess my question is: is it possible to win this battle? Or are mice just too resourceful (and too quick to reproduce) to be successful? Any advice? Thanks!
It is a fight you can win with the right tools. Get a good kill and seal trap. Victor makes one with a 100% kill rate. It kills the pest quickly and then keeps it sealed inside, not letting out any nasty diseases it might have. Here’s the one you need to get: http://www.victorpest.com/store/rodent-control/m265#desc

Vidiot please contact the good folks at Hershey Park I really think you have something here! I’m cracking up when ever I read that line.
“peanut buttery smelling tunnel of excitement and fun” will haunt my dreams…oh, what paradise! (until the screams begin!)
LOL, Denton.
mopar, seems like a golf club would have come in handy!
I heard a huge crashing, thrashing sound last week and rushed into the kitchen to see a mouse leap and soar like a gold medalist in the mousie Olympics over my glue trap and around a corner (while in mid-air) and then run straight at me across the kitchen floor and under my legs as I simultaneously reversed course and leapt straight upward and then onto the bed to escape it, while it ran under the bed and was not seen again.
Three hours of mouse screams from a less skilled relative two days before apparently did nothing to discourage this mouse.
We suffocate them in plastic bags after we catch them in the glue traps.
“Mice can’t resist the peanut buttery smelling tunnel of excitement and fun. ”
LOL im dying over here.
Folks it’s true the screams do send a message to the rest.
I had this problem for the last 3 years. (Thanks to construction around me, shocker!) Finally I had a contractor come with the exterminator and they went and found every little hole in my apartment. They pulled out all my appliances and plugged up the gaps around my gas line in my stove. I also had about 12 traps set in a 700 sf apartment, and since my holes have been filled, not one of those traps have had a mouse in them! Good luck!
