its been running around my house for quite some time now. i'm prettyt sure there's only one. any ideas how? the cheapest and fastest way. my wife is FREAKED OUT!!
I have a mouser you can borrow for a day or two. She's a pretty grey color and very affectionate. She keeps our basement rodent free. Do you live near Chicago?
LMAO, I had this dilemma a couple years ago. Mu husband used, and you won't believe it, but it worked....
On the sticky traps he put a piece of one of those easter marshmallow peeps. We had it caught by early evening. NOW, I want to warn you, what we found out.......
If you have one, and have had it for a while, you most likely have many, you just can't see them yet.
After cleaning out our pantry and other cupboards, (make sure your dog food is in a sealed container if you have a dog), we lined all shelves with aluminum foil (they don't like the feel on their tiny little feet or the sound). We also lined all possible entry ways with, yeah it stinks, but it works, Moth Balls.
That was our quick cheap fix and we have been mouseless for almost 2 years now.

SWEET!! I'll try that. Ya, I kinda figured that maybe theres more than one and I'm pretty there is...scaryyy. I hate em LOL
If you place traps put them along a wall; rodents run alongside walls, not through the middle of a room (generally speaking), so you will be more likely to catch them. I learned that on Dirty Jobs, lol!
Or you could get/borrow a cat, you'll shortly be mouse-free!
also on a sticky trap you can place one fruit loop cereal right in the center of the pad, works great. also on the older style Victor brand snapping mouse traps, you can take some sewing thread and tie a fruit loop to the traps trigger and you will catch them and they should be dead when you get there, and you can also alot of times hear the pop when you have caught a mouse. as where with the sticky pads the mouse will be alive, frightened, often squealing, and may try to bite you. but you can pick up the trap, fold and squeeze at the head area, and throw it away.
ok, i couldnt find any sticky traps at wal mart the other day ( guess they were sold out). But, I did pick up posion (the ones you break off and leave it on the ground and have the mice chew on it). it's been 2 days and nothing yet! Guess the stuff dont work
I'll look around for the sticky stuff this weekend!
Making them "walk the plank" is much more fun and creative. MTLS req'd: A table, a ruler, peanut butter, a garbage can with a trash bag liner. Put Peanut butter at the end of a ruler, place at the edge of the desk with garbage can below. Mouse walks on desk, smells peanut butter, walks on ruler, finds itself in garbage can, can't get out because of the plastic bag.
