We have mice.

[Ceebs]

I just saw a 3" gray thing with a tail scurry past my sleeping dog, whom in her youth, made it her personal mission to kill all of my pet rabbits and rats. I've only seen the one, but I'm sure it'll be bringing friends real soon. Party at Ceebs'!

Since I can't count on Kerri the Killer Cairn Terrier to play mouser, any advice on how to figure out where these guys are getting into the house, and how to get rid of them? I'm not afraid of mice, my concern is the germs they might bring in.

Thanks in advance.

Get a cat. They hear/find/see everything.

is it an old house that has settled? or more modern?
what material are the walls made of? the floors?

 

[Ceebs]

Modern. Stucco exterior followed by drywall. Tile floors.

I wonder if mice like DNP.

THey have these electronic things to deter mice. They really work.


We had mice in my parents house. One night I'm sleeping and I hear rattling in the radiator. Both dogs are in bed with me. They hear it to. Instead of being fierce and trying to kill it, they start screaming and crying in terror and jump on the bed. It was the funniest thing ever.


Anyway, then I got those electronic things and it worked like a charm. No more mice, atleast not in my room.

those glue traps suck.. talk about a shitty way for them to die.

Never a rat, mouse, or roach in my home. Poison is the answer.

Lestat,

The poison is really bad too. It's so sad. They just lay on the floor in pain. It's so horrible.
