Yep - I'll let you know how good they work. Make sure to get the right size. Like I said, these are Mini... they also have regular and rat size

Sealing is the right call, and it's usually what ends the cycle. CDC's seal-up page, boiled down for a foundation job: - Where to look outside: the line where the foundation meets the ground, crawl space and attic vents, and every spot a pipe, cable, gas or electrical line goes through the wall.

Yeah no way indoor cats are going to hunt, and outdoor cat only hunts if they are bored. You'll need one from the street or the wild. I'd go with a disguised trap, you know, like a snap trap covered with thin cloth and some bits of food around it (can't be in their way tho)

Do you live on a farm?

The baking soda and peanut butter mix is unreliable at best and a slow, unpleasant death at worst, which is why nobody gives ratios. What actually...

I bet there's no harmless poison so your options are either adopting a wild cat or placing a well disguised trap

Since you've had snap traps out for weeks and still have mice, the usual gap is trap count and entry points, not the bait. What the extension and CDC guides say: - Mice seldom go more than ~30 ft from their nest, so UC IPM says space traps no more than ~10 ft apart where you see activity, and set s...

Thank you ALL for your help & advice! I am going to work on sealing my house around the foundation and basement windows. And, for fun, I’m going to look into one of those bucket traps kits. Thank you so much for your thoughts and advice!!!
