Re: i hate mices to pieces said by shademan:Short of getting a cat allergic i could use ideas especially bait and since when did mice become pickey about the bait Some time ago, I opened up a small enclosed space in the basement where the water meter was located. Mice used to visit that space ... and soon they started coming into the rest of the house.
Anyway, I tried the roomy traps where they can enter through a tunnel but can't get out. Caught two babies one night in one trap and let them go in a nearby forest.
It seems that our mice family is really smart, reproduce very fast and can communicate location of the traps to babies. Because soon they started avoiding the traps no matter where I moved them and no matter what I put inside.
*** At this time, I am experimenting with ultrasonic waves beyond pet hearing (above 30Khz) and it looks promising. You have to keep changing frequency, volume and pattern (like emergency vehicle sirens) and aim at proven entry points.
Our mice family has figured out how to get in through a hole near the electrical panel which is difficult for me to cover. I have to remove some of the basement ceiling or put a whole bunch of horns all over the basement.
P.S. My son has figured out that they live in tunnels made by our chipmunks. |
