It's been 50/50 between each catching the mice we had. That was last winter. This winter we only had one in the attic. We have actually also put chocolate on the trap and caught one too, Why? Because it ate the chocolate in my pantry, so we let it's final meal be just that. Praying you catch them quickly, so gross!!!Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180764196840856181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016503.post-76283801155964698702010-03-17T11:18:49.036-04:002010-03-17T11:18:49.036-04:00did i ever tell you about the 2 snakes we found al...did i ever tell you about the 2 snakes we found alive and well in Ben's room?As For Me and My Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377293727063778530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016503.post-27418872492802940732010-03-17T03:07:49.564-04:002010-03-17T03:07:49.564-04:00Again, I say STICKY/GLUE traps.

We spent WAY too much money on all kinds of traps and NOTHING worked for over two weeks. We even found spring traps that the mouse had removed the peanut butter succesfully WITHOUT setting off the trap! We were referred to the sticky traps by our Pest Control company and literally an hour after putting it out, we had our first victim. Turns out there were a total of 3 mice, and we found their nest in the "attic" that was off the crawl space under the stairs. (hard to explain) End your problem today by getting the sticky traps. Yes, you will have to see the mouse stuck to the trap and it is not pretty..but they WORK. (Not only are mice a nuisance, but they carry disease.)Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243453915119036058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016503.post-68638807880580293502010-03-17T02:16:29.306-04:002010-03-17T02:16:29.306-04:00Ew!

And while I was cooking I had one crawling around on my neck... gah!<br />And they give off this funky smell when you kill them that I am quickly learning to hate.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030109870736499425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016503.post-25575837667739628652010-03-17T00:56:18.923-04:002010-03-17T00:56:18.923-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Emch Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106306705170369396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016503.post-21349195339847943242010-03-16T22:46:08.931-04:002010-03-16T22:46:08.931-04:00Rob says use the spring traps.
