Rat and Mouse bait
The idea is to kill them. But the word "bait" means that it's food-like and therefore attract them.
I don't exactly have a problem. Just found some droppings. So I don't know if they were just stopping by, or actually live around my house. What do you think? I'm afraid by attracting them to the bait, some of them will find an alternative entrance into the house, instead of staying where they are. Any advice will help. |
your first bet would be to move things around see if you can spot a "home" or entry points for them. If you find them, seal them up! As well you may want to put those sticky pads near them.

as far as bait, iirc when watching dirty jobs, they had used peanuts, or something along those lines |
Traps baited with cotton. It does not attract them or other insects and if they are around, they cannot resist taking the cotton for their nests. Works like a charm.

Problem solved. Much easier than hauling heavy-ass furniture around the house. :2cents: Just make sure you get a spare house. |
Peanut butter is good bait. Works very well on a trap. Make sure the trap is against the wall tho

peanut butter works great and mice have poor vision so they run along walls. |
The bad thing about bait i.e. poison is that the mouse (or mice) is almost guaranteed to die somewhere inaccessible to you. It will start to decompose and stink up your house. :ugh: You do not want that, trust me.
