Best way to get rid of house mice..?
Question:What is the best way to get rid of mice in the house when you have pets and children in the home. Have tried the glue traps and the mice get free no problem. I have caught 3 with the plastic traps but we still have plenty more to get rid of and with the traps they are just stealing the PeanutButter and the traps aren't catching them.
Answers:
A lot of Classic Car buffs have problems with mice making their homes inside of restored vehicles. A commonly used trick will repel them. Get several boxes of "Old Fashioned Mothballs" with the main ingredient of "Napthalene." They're about $1.00 a box in the dollar stores or WalMart. Spread them around under cupboards and furniture. Since mice usually come in near the floor, that's where your repellent will do the most good.If you can get some inside the walls too, it's sure to help. Irish Spring is another odor that they hate, and you can use slivers or slices of it in the clothes drawers and closets so that your clothes don't smell like mothballs when you go out of the house
You need to call someone to come and find the actually nesting area. Until you do they will keep breeding and you will spending alot of money on those traps

I live in the woods and we have that problem every single year. After catching 9 mice in 4 days we realized that it was beyond our control. You can call an exterminator and they will spray in and around your home. However you will have to have that done twice per year. I have to say it is worth it. They get so bad and they multiply so fast that you can't keep up with it.
Glue traps ... I had the same problem. They were stealing the food from my dogs' bowl; peek into the Asked Areas for my answers.
My final solutions:
1. Find the holes & fill them with spray foam.
2. Blue blocks of poison in the walls & back behind the counters, 'fridge or anywhere else the kids, pets and such can't reach them.
3. Glue traps with peanut butter in the center. Make sure the peanut butter is in the center so they run in & stay in the middle and get stopped by the glue on the traps. And make sure you use a stick and a plastic bag to gather the mice corpses once they die or they will stink up the house.
4. Make sure to get a deodorizer for the smell - if they die behind the walls the house will stink for a few weeks.
Best Always,

So long as your pets aren't rodents or arachnids, this is what I've found to work best.
