gm☕😊, hope your hvac bill is not too crazy. Also, you can buy mouse/rat feed stations for baiting, that exclude pets from getting to the bait. Not very expensive.
Hmmm… Good to know! I’ve been using the old fashioned spring traps - bated with peanut butter. They seem to work OK. I find that I eat a lot of peanut butter when I set those traps.
