Update
I decided to implement a new two-pronged approach to the mouse problem this weekend. I got one of those electronic super-hi frequency mouse deterrent things, and glue traps. I'm guessing the electronic thing gradually convinces the mice to leave, because I'm still hearing them skittering around the kitchen.
The glue trap, however, caught a mouse almost immediately. Of course, I freaked out and cried a lot, and made my boyfriend "take care of it". (He wasn't too happy about that, either, what with being a super-religious Hindu and all.) Oh well. I'd rather freak out than keep finding mouse poop on my counter.

But wait, there's more...
Be sure to check all your lower-level cabinets and move any food products up to higher ground. Better yet, get the b/f to do it cuz you'll probably really freak out when you see all the mouse turds.seasquirt said:I'd rather freak out than keep finding mouse poop on my counter.

Snakes. LOTS of snakes.. when they run out of mice to eat they MIGHT move on..seasquirt said:I haven't posted here in awhile, but I need some advice. All of the sudden, my house is infested with mice. I have tried the no-kill traps (where they get trapped in a little box), but they won't go inside them. I've tried the regular traps, but they eat the bait without ever setting off the trap! I've eliminated all possible food sources, but I still hear them and see them (and find their "leavings"). I won't get a cat because I already have a dog and I don't want the responsibility of another pet... argh!!!
Anyone have any helpful hints?

Yeah, I'm starting that process tonight... I have a spraybottle full of diluted bleach. It is my friend.
I'll have to clean up the rodent raisins by myself, though - boyfriend only visits on weekends.hamsterfang

One thing about using poison is that it has a 50/50 chance of working. Mice and rats have a tendency to nibble on their food and then come back for it later, only eating a tiny amount at first. If they become sick from the small amount of poison, they don't come back. Then they tell all their buddies...
If you love rodents, go into the city. When a rat can beat up your dog, something is wrong.

Seasquirt, want to borrow my cat for a few days? I guarantee she'll kill anything that may be annoying you, including any small children that happen to be laying around.

May I borrow your cat to take care of an annoying friend?
